New polls by The New York Times and Siena College show Republican candidate Donald Trump leading Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in Arizona, with a close race unfolding in Georgia and North Carolina.
According to The New York Times, Trump holds an edge in the “Sun Belt,” a term referring to the southern U.S. states, including Arizona, Texas, Georgia, and Florida.
Several voters in the Sun Belt states noted that Trump improved their lives during his presidency, setting the stage for a highly competitive race in three key battleground states, according to the latest polls from The New York Times. The results indicate that Trump has gained ground in Arizona while maintaining a lead in Georgia and holding a narrow advantage in North Carolina.
Trump had lost Arizona and Georgia to Joe Biden in the 2020 election, so winning them back would be a significant step toward regaining the U.S. presidency.
Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina are among seven key battleground states expected to see close results in the upcoming election.
The New York Times considers Trump’s lead in Arizona a major gain, one that Harris and her team will need to work hard to overcome.
