Vice President Kamala Harris’ so-called “honeymoon” period appears to be ending, according to a series of recent polls, including one from the key swing state of Pennsylvania.
An Emerson College survey released late last week shows Trump leading Harris 51% to 49% in the state, after distributing the preferences of undecided voters.
This indicates a tightening of the race compared to last month’s results, where Trump led Harris 51% to 45% among very likely voters. However, recent polling from the state had consistently shown Harris in the lead. Emerson’s latest data breaks from that trend.
Electorally, Trump maintains an advantage over Harris on key issues like the economy and immigration, where his policies have appealed to specific voter groups. However, Harris has shown improvement compared to Joe Biden’s previous performance in these areas.
