Quote:Vice President Harris is leading or tied with former President Trump in six of seven battleground states as she continues to transform the 2024 race after President Biden’s exit last month, according to a poll released Wednesday.
The survey from the Cook Political Report Swing State Project showed Harris with an overall 1-point lead over Trump across the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Across the seven battleground states, she has 48 percent of support, Trump has 47 percent, and 5 percent of respondents said they are undecided or would not vote.
The poll found Harris gained ground on Trump since the last Swing State Project survey was conducted in May, when President Biden was the presumptive Democratic nominee for the White House.
Harris is now narrowly ahead of Trump in five of the battleground states and is tied with Trump in Georgia, according to the survey. Trump’s only lead is in Nevada, but Harris has closed his margin there by 6 points since the poll was last taken in May.

Harris’s lead is even larger when third-party candidates — most notably Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — are included, including a 4-point lead in Arizona and 5-point leads in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. She has an overall 2-point lead in the seven states when other candidates are included in the poll, with RFK Jr. getting 5 percent of support.

At least half of all women aged 18-49 said they opposed the state-by-state approach regardless of party affiliation, according to the survey from health policy research group KFF.
Opposition was highest among Democratic women at 88 percent, but the survey showed 53 percent of Republicans and 73 percent of women who identified as independent also opposed the idea.
