In the latest Fox News poll featuring about 1,000 registered voters each from North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia, Harris leads 50% to 49% in a two-way race. The Democrat leads by 2 points in Georgia and Nevada and by a point in Arizona. Trump has a one-point advantage in North Carolina. All are within the margin of error.
The survey comes as Harris continues to surge in the polls post-President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race. Biden had been trailing Trump in most of the swing states, and the Republican even threatened him in lean-Democratic-favored states, such as New Mexico and Virginia.
Harris’s ascension has completely flipped the race, and she has gained a lead in most swing states while pushing for previously GOP-leaning North Carolina and Georgia.
The Trump campaign mocked Fox’s polling results, saying in an email, “It’s that time of year again. Fox is releasing atrocious polling.” The campaign laid out how Trump was also trailing in Fox polls in 2020 before outperforming them in the general election.
“President Trump continues to outperform polling from past cycles. President Trump is 10 points ahead of where he was in Arizona at this point in 2020, according to Fox,” the email said. “Likewise, he is running 8 points ahead of his 2020 polling in Nevada and 5 points ahead of his 2020 polling in North Carolina.”
“We see the same trend nationwide,” his campaign said.

On the issues, a majority of voters in the four states supported Trump by 16 points on immigration, 8 points on the economy, and 8 points on the Israel-Hamas war. Voters supported Harris by 19 points on abortion and 10 points on healthcare.
The economy, as it is across the country, is considered by 41% of voters to be the top issue. Voters in Arizona considered abortion and immigration to be more pressing issues than the other three states, while 45% of Georgians pointed to the economy, the largest number across the four states.
