5 striking new poll numbers amid Harris’s rise
⭐️Other states could come into play
For almost the entirety of the 2024 campaign, we’ve been focused on a static array of swing states and Senate races.
But it’s fair to ask whether we should widen our gaze a bit.
A couple of states that new polls suggest we should keep an eye on:
♦️North Carolina, which has been regarded as a perhaps unlikely Democratic target.
The Cook poll showed Harris leading there by one point (within the margin of error).
We don’t have much high-quality recent polling, but the polls we do have show a tight race.
And Biden lost the state only by a little more than a point in 2020.
♦️Florida, where polls in recent days have shown Harris within two to five points.
Also, on the Senate front, a Suffolk University poll this week showed Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) 14 points underwater (35 percent favorable versus 49 percent unfavorable),
even as other Republicans including Trump were in positive territory.
Scott’s advantage on the ballot has been similar to Trump’s.
