New York Times Poll Shows Trump Beating Kamala In 3 Battleground States

Former President Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris in the critical battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina, according to polling released Monday from the New York Times and Siena College. 

The polling found that Trump was leading Harris 50-45 in Arizona, 49-45 in Georgia, and 49-47 in North Carolina. The survey was conducted from September 17-21 and polled 713 registered voters in Arizona, 682 in Georgia, and 682 in North Carolina. 

The poll found that Trump is trusted more on the issues of immigration and the economy, while Harris is trusted more on abortion. 

In Arizona, the poll found that the most important issues were the economy (26%), immigration (19%), and abortion (17%). A majority said Trump would be better on the economy (57%) and immigration (54%), while 55% said Harris would be better on abortion. 

A majority (58%) said they backed a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would create a right to abortion, while just 34% said they would oppose the amendment. 

In an open Senate seat race, Democrat Rep. Ruben Gallego leads Republican Kari Lake 50-41. 

Georgia respondents also identified the economy (27%), abortion (15%), and immigration (13%) as their most important issues. A majority said they trusted Trump more on immigration (54%) and the economy (54%), while Harris was favored on abortion by 54% of voters. 

Sixty percent of Georgia voters said the U.S. should focus more on domestic problems, agreeing with the statement that “We should pay less attention to problems overseas and concentrate on problems here at home.”

In North Carolina, the economy (24%), abortion (13%), and immigration (12%) were the biggest issues in the election. Trump was again favored on the economy (55%) and immigration (51%), while Harris was preferred again on abortion (52%).

The poll also found that Democrat Josh Stein leads Republican Mark Robinson in the race for the open governor’s seat. 

President Joe Biden’s approval was underwater in each of the states, with his disapproval rating at 60% in Arizona, 61% in Georgia, and 55% in North Carolina. 

Both the Trump and Harris campaigns have focused on rallying support in these states as the campaign reaches its final stretch. Harris will be in Arizona this week, while Trump is set to speak in Savannah, Georgia, on Tuesday. Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance will appear in Georgia and North Carolina this week.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
