Donald Trump is witnessing seismic increases in support across swing states and Democratic strongholds, according to a New York Times/Sienna poll.
The Republican leads Kamala Harris in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina – states which the former president needs in his bid to retake the White House. He leads by five percentage points in Arizona, four in Georgia, and two in North Carolina.
Mainstream media outlets described the survey as Trump’s best poll results in weeks. His once universal lead over President Joe Biden diminished as Harris enjoyed a honeymoon period of heightened popularity, although her support seems to be dwindling according to the latest major poll.
Intriguingly, Trump has also made gains in New York. Although the state is all-but certain to vote Democrat, the former president could inflict the worst performance for a DNC candidate since 1988 on Harris if the poll is to be believed. Trump trails the Vice President by 12 percentage points; by contrast, Biden won New York by 23 in 2020.
The poll’s findings left many Republicans feeling optimistic.
Others wondered about the impact such a trend may have on the swing states.
