 Trump and Harris dead even in battleground states as base rallies for Dems: poll

With the Democratic base seemingly mobilized after replacing President Biden at the top of the ticket, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are dead even in the battleground states, a new poll revealed.

Trump and Harris notched 50% apiece in the battleground state average, and the vice president scored a one-point lead over the Republican nominee in a national head-to-head matchup, a CBS News/YouGov poll found, garnering 50% to Trump’s 49%.

Republicans haven’t won the national popular vote in a presidential election since 2004.

The results indicate a stunning reversal from last month when Trump had a five-point lead over President Biden nationally and generally had the edge in battleground states in the CBS News poll.

In the battleground states, Michigan went 48% Harris to 48% Trump, with Pennsylvania (50%, 50%), Wisconsin (49%, 50%), Arizona (49%, 49%), Georgia (47%, 50%), Nevada (50%, 48%) and North Carolina (47%, 50%) all deadlocked at or near a statistical tie.

If the general election broke along those lines, Trump would lead in the Electoral College 261 to 232, but still falling short of the 270 electoral votes a candidate needs in order to win.

Powering Harris’ ascent in the CBS poll appears to be female, younger, and black voters flocking back to the Democrats.

The CBS News/YouGov survey sampled 3,102 registered voters between July 30 and Aug. 2 with a margin of error of 2.1 percentage points.

IF the CBS poll is accurate, why would the Democrats, their media, and the NeverTrumpers be celebrating?  There has been non-stop gushing and slobbering over Harris, she is hiding in the candidate protection program, and, conversely, there has been an endless assault on President Trump and JD Vance -- and the best they can show for it is a tie?  Once the public gets to know who Harris really is -- personally nasty to her staff, a radical on every issue, a liar who is trying to hide her radicalism, and an inarticulate and mostly stupid person -- I suspect her numbers will drop.

But the media, the Democrats, and the Harris campaign are desperately trying to protect Harris from the American people and run out the clock in the next 3-months.  The propaganda, free and paid, will continue, the lies and smears will continue to fly with abandon, the staged events and carefully prepared speeches will substitute for real campaigning, etc.   https://aol.com/news/trump-har
