How are Harris and Trump doing in Georgia polls? The race tightens closer to Election Day
This election season, the swing states are truly showing their unpredictable nature, with both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump experiencing fluctuating popularity in the polls.
According to a recent poll conducted in Georgia by Quinnipiac University, Trump appears to be taking the lead over Vice President Harris. The survey indicates that Trump garnered 50% support from likely Georgia voters, while Harris received 44%, which is significantly outside the margin of error.
Another 1% went to Chase Oliver from the Libertarian party, alongside independents Cornel West and Claudia de la Cruz.
In the Peach State, Harris continues to face challenges regarding two main issues: the economy and immigration, with 53% of respondents believing Trump would manage these concerns more effectively. Additionally, on foreign policy, Trump was favored by 52% of voters, compared to 46% for Harris.
What do other polls say?
Not every poll reflects such a clear advantage for Trump as the Quinnipiac one.
The latest polls from AtlasIntel, noted for their accuracy by FiveThirtyEight, show Trump ahead of Harris by only 0.6% in Georgia, with 49.6% of votes versus Harris’s 49%.
AtlasIntel’s polling, conducted from September 20 to 25, indicated Trump leading in other states like Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Conversely, Harris was in the lead in Nevada and North Carolina, the last two swing states.
What about Trump vs. Harris betting odds?
Following last night’s vice presidential debate featuring Ohio Senator J.D. Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, betting odds have started to favor Trump.
As per data from Polymarket, which operates on cryptocurrency, Trump now leads Harris by 1%. Additionally, odds on Betfair Exchange, the largest peer-to-peer betting platform from the UK, have also slightly shifted in Trump’s favor.
These gradual changes in odds were noticed quickly after the debate as international bettors reacted.
However, it’s important not to overlook Harris just yet. Polls are notoriously unpredictable, so waiting until closer to Election Day to make a final wager is advisable.
