That lead that Trump & Co,. THOUGHT they had?
IS GONE….
Kamala Harris Wipes Out Trump’s Swing-State Lead“
Kamala Harris has wiped out Donald Trump’s lead across seven battleground states, as the vice president rides a wave of enthusiasm among young, Black and Hispanic voters,” according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll.
“Harris was backed by 48% of voters to 47% for Trump — a statistical dead heat — in the swing states that will likely decide November’s election. That’s a stronger showing than the two-point deficit for President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race. The Democratic vice president overtook her GOP rival in Arizona and Nevada, and more than doubled Biden’s lead over Trump in Michigan.”

Vice President Harris has erased former President Trump’s lead in seven key battleground states roughly a week after becoming the likely Democratic nominee.
A Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll showed Harris and Trump in a tight race across all battleground states, with 48 percent backing Harris and 47 percent saying they support Trump.
The breakdown among individual states shows each candidate leading comfortably in one swing state, with the others closely contested. It is a notable shift from a Bloomberg/Morning Consult pollconducted at the start of July that showed Trump leading Biden overall by 2 percentage points, and Trump leading in five of seven battleground states.
Tuesday’s poll showed Harris opening up an 11-point lead on Trump in Michigan, a 2-point lead in Nevada, a 2-point lead in Arizona and a 2-point lead in Wisconsin.
Trump, meanwhile, led Harris by 4 points in Pennsylvania and 2 points in North Carolina. The candidates were tied in Georgia at 47 percent support.
The poll surveyed 4,973 registered voters from July 24-28. It has a margin of error of 1 percentage point.
The Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll is the latest sign that Harris’s campaign has significant momentum in the wake of Biden’s decision not to seek reelection. Harris rapidly consolidated support among Democrats in the hours after Biden stepped aside, and she raised more than $200 million in her first week as a presidential candidate….
