New polls in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina from Fox News show no clear leader in any of these critical swing states.
Among registered voters, the surveys find Vice President Kamala Harris at 50% to former President Donald Trump’s 49% in Arizona in a head-to-head matchup, Harris at 50% to Trump’s 48% in both Georgia and Nevada, and Trump at 50% to Harris’s 49% in North Carolina. Each state poll has an error margin of plus or minus three points, meaning the poll shows no clear leader in any of these races.
Keep in mind: In each state, Harris has improved on President Joe Biden’s showing against Trump overall and in terms of being trusted to handle key issues, when compared to previous Fox polling.
But she still lags behind Trump across all four states by margins between six and nine points on being trusted to handle the economy. The economy is the top issue in the election for a plurality in each state.
The picture is more mixed when voters are asked which candidate would do a better job at “fighting for people like you” or “bringing needed change.” Harris has the edge on fighting for people like you in Nevada (51% Harris to 46% Trump), Georgia (50% Harris to 46% Trump) and Arizona (51% Harris to 47% Trump), while the two are about even on that score in North Carolina (49% Harris to 48% Trump).
And the two are near even in each state on who would better bring needed change (Harris 50% to Trump 47% in both Georgia and Nevada, Harris 50% to Trump 48% in Arizona, and Trump 49% to Harris 48% in North Carolina).
In both Arizona and Nevada, the polls find Democratic Senate candidates leading Republicans: Incumbent Democrat Jacky Rosen tops Republican Sam Brown in Nevada 55% to 41%, and Democrat Ruben Gallego tops Republican Kari Lake in Arizona 56% to 41%.
The surveys were conducted from August 23 through 26 by telephone and online among roughly 1,000 voters in each state.
