Trump increases his lead in the polls, but Kamala Harris takes the lead in Michigan

For the vice president and Democratic candidate, the good news is that she manages to surpass the Republican candidate in Michigan, a key state in the so-called ‘Rust Belt’ that is in dispute. This progress opens a door for Harris to the hope of making a comeback in the traditional Democratic fiefdoms where Trump threatens to prevail.

To become president, candidates must achieve at least 270 electoral votes or delegates of the 538 that make up the so-called Electoral College. According to the RealClearPolitics survey average, there are 104 that remain without a clear recipient.

The main novelty in the decisive states where the election is at stake comes from Michigan. In recent days the polls have been giving very close results, one or two tenths, but this Wednesday dawned with an advantage of five tenths for Kamala Harris (48.1% compared to 47.6%). Furthermore, the Democratic candidate slightly reduces the distance in Snowfallwhere he is five tenths behind Donald Trump (48.3% compared to 47.8).

However, Donald Trump is making progress in other key states, such as Arizonain which he already has a 2.5 point advantage over his Democratic opponent (49.5% compared to 47.0%), , Georgiawhere the distance is already 2.4 points (49.3% compared to 46.9%), North Carolinawhere he is one point ahead (48.5% versus 47.5%), Pennsylvaniasix tenths up (48.1% versus 47.5%), or Wisconsinalso six tenths higher (48.4% compared to 47.8%).

The data comes from the averages of surveys published in real time on the website RealClearPoliticsdedicated to the in-depth analysis of current political events in the US, with editorial criteria of balance and partisan neutrality.
