NYT Poll Should Concern Kamala: Trump Winning in Three Key Swing States

The 2024 election is heating up, and you know what that means: biased polling reports coming from all the usual suspects. Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, seems to be having a charmed run if you ask the mainstream media. Polls keep popping up, painting her as a favorite.

But here’s the kicker—these are the same outlets that spent four years running a non-stop smear campaign against Donald Trump. Coincidence? I doubt it.

The Trump-hating media is hard at work. They’ve conveniently boosted Harris in early polling, trying to create momentum where there isn’t any. It’s like watching the referees throw a game.

They’re pushing narratives, not numbers, in an attempt to sway voters. You’d think Harris was leading a political revolution! But hold your applause, because when you dig deeper, reality paints a different picture.

From The Post Millennial:
A new poll from New York Times/Siena College has revealed that 2024 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris in three swing states, two of which he lost to Biden in the 2020 election.

A recent poll from none other than The New York Times and Siena College—yes, the same folks that had Harris surging—now shows Trump ahead of her in three critical swing states. You heard that right. In Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina, Trump is back in the driver’s seat.

In Arizona, Trump leads Harris by a solid five points, 50% to 45%. That’s the same Arizona where Biden squeaked out a win by just over 10,000 votes in 2020. Now, suddenly, the state’s ready to flip red again? Seems like Harris’ “inevitable” lead isn’t so inevitable after all.

And it doesn’t stop there. Georgia, another battleground state that narrowly went to Biden, shows Trump ahead by four points, 49% to 45%. North Carolina, typically a reliable red state, has Trump leading by two points—close, but still a lead.

Remember, the Democrats haven’t won North Carolina since 2008. Yet the mainstream media had Harris on a victory lap before the race even began. This poll is a wake-up call.

But let’s talk about the bigger picture. Across these three states, Trump is leading Harris 49% to 45%. The margin of error hovers around 2.5%, but let’s be real: those numbers favor Trump.

And it’s not just about the horse race. 48% of voters in these states strongly disapprove of Joe Biden’s job performance. That’s nearly half the electorate saying they don’t trust the guy who’s been running the show for the past four years. Biden’s approval ratings have tanked, and it’s dragging Harris down with him.

What’s driving this Trump resurgence? Simple: the economy. The top issue for voters in these swing states is their wallets, and Trump has a solid lead there. 55% of voters say they trust Trump more on economic issues compared to just 42% for Harris. Those numbers matter.

People are feeling the pain of inflation, stagnant wages, and rising costs. And guess who they’re blaming? The Democrats. Immigration and abortion also rank high on voters’ priorities, but the economy is the biggie. Voters believe Trump can handle it better, and they aren’t afraid to say it.

In fact, when asked which candidate would handle the issues they care about most, 50% of voters said Trump, while only 46% chose Harris. That gap might not seem huge, but in swing states, every point counts.

And let’s not forget—these are the same states Trump lost in 2020. If he’s flipping them now, just imagine what that means for November.

Here’s another interesting tidbit: the margin of error in these polls is around 4% in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. That’s the kind of wiggle room that should make Democrats nervous.

Swing states live up to their name for a reason. Just a couple of percentage points can make all the difference. And with Trump showing strength in multiple battlegrounds, the Dems have to be sweating.

The mainstream media won’t want to admit it, but their narrative of a “strong” Kamala Harris is crumbling. Trump is gaining ground where it matters most—swing states that will decide the election. And with Harris struggling to hold her own, this race is far from over.

Key Takeaways:

  • Trump leads Harris in three critical swing states: Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina.
  • Voters trust Trump more on the economy, the top issue driving the 2024 election.
  • Biden’s unpopularity is dragging Harris down, making a Trump comeback look more likely than ever.
