A new poll from AtlasIntel claimed former president Donald Trump is leading vice president Kamala Harris in each of the seven swing states though the margin is narrow.
Trump is favored to win in North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The new poll comes amid Ann Selzer poll sent shockwaves that Kamala Harris is ahead in Iowa which is a reliably conservative turf that Donald Trump won both in 2016 and 2020.
The AtlasIntel survey said Donald Trump is holding the widest margin in Arizona -- with a 52.3% to Harris 45.8%.
In Nevada, Trump has a 51.2% to 46% edge over Harris.
In North Carolina, Trump holds a 50.5% to 47.1% lead.
In Georgia, Trump is leading 50.1% to Harris' 47.6%.In Michigan, it's 49.7% for Trump and 48.2% for Harris.
In Pennsylvania, the projection is 49.6% for Trump and 47.8% for Harris.
Wisconsin is the closest -- 49.7% for Trump and 48.6% for Harris.
Aftermath of the shock poll in Iowa
A Des Moines Register Iowa poll claimed Kamala Harris is three points up in Iowa mostly because of the women voters. “It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming,” Selzer told the newspaper. “She (Harris) has clearly leaped into a leading position.”
Selzer and the Register surveyed 808 likely Iowa voters from October 28 to October 31. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. Harris’ lead in the poll is the result of a massive gender gap. She leads by 20 points among women, 56% to 36%. Trump has a lead among men, but it’s relatively smaller, 52% to 38%.
It’s a pattern that’s repeated itself to varying extents nationwide, but notably, a six-week abortion ban went into effect in Iowa this summer.
Daily Beast report said after the shock poll, betting markets tilted towards Kamala Harris. Kalshi's betting market on Saturday gave Trump a 55% chance of winning on Saturday but on Sunday morning that fell to 50%.
