The polling firm Sabato’s Crystal Ball again classified the election campaign in North Carolina on Tuesday (August 20) as completely open and a so-called “toss-up state,” as Harris continues to improve her numbers in the US election polls.

Swing states will be decisive in US election: Harris courts voter favor
According to a report by NZZ According to the polls, Kamala Harris is focusing her campaign on swing voters in the swing states, who are supposed to secure her election. That is why she has easily dropped her previous radical positions. Five years ago, for example, Harris was still calling for a ban on fracking, but not anymore. This stance would have cost her votes, especially in the important swing state of Pennsylvania, which is the second largest natural gas producer among all federal states thanks to fracking.
It remains exciting to see whether Harris’ strategy will work and whether she can gather enough votes against Donald Trump in the three months remaining until the US election. Various polls before the US election see the Democrat rapidly catching up with her opponent Trump in the swing states. In five of the seven contested swing states, the Democrat is ahead according to surveys by The Cook Political Report before Donald Trump: Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin. According to the poll, Harris cannot currently win against Trump in Georgia and Nevada. Despite all the trends in the run-up to the US election, the fact that polls can only predict the election result to a limited extent was most recently made clear in the 2016 US election, when Donald Trump unexpectedly won.
