Harris Slips in the Rust Belt States as Donald Trump Takes Slim Lead in Michigan, Poll Finds

On Monday, Polymarket released data that revealed that Republican candidate Donald Trump is leading Democrat Kamala Harris by 10 percentage points in the swing state of Pennsylvania, after trailing the vice president by 5 points the prior month. A new set of polls by Quinnipiac University, revealed on Wednesday, show a very different scenario in the state, with Harris actually leading with 49% of the vote to Trump's 46%.

The new poll, however, is not all good news for Democrats as it also reveals Trump is making gains in two other Rust Belt states, taking small leads in Michigan (50% to 47%) and Wisconsin (48% to 46%), suggesting tight races as Election Day approaches. In Quinnipiac's poll conducted in mid-September, Harris held a lead in Pennsylvania and Michigan with the race essentially tied in Wisconsin.
