The 2024 presidential race is a dead heat in seven battleground states, including Georgia, with voters favoring former President Donald Trump on economic issues giving Vice President Kamala Harris low marks on border security and her support for reparations.
That’s according to a new poll released this week by American Greatness that surveyed voters in Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina.
Harris leads Trump 47% to 46% in a two-way race, with 7% of voters undecided. Harris is ahead of Trump 42% to 41% in a five-way race in which Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (I) is at 8%, Jill Stein (G) is at 2%, and Chase Oliver (L) is at 1%.
“In a tight race, which this contest is, economic concerns will determine the winner,” Steve Cortes, founder of the League of American Workers (LAW), the polling contributor for American Greatness, told Peach Tree Times. “Kamala Harris owns this economy that has been punishing, especially for working class voters.”
Only 15% of voters in these battleground states said “Bidenomics” works “very well,” with 40% of voters saying it works “not at all.” Among voters aged 18-34 years old, only 9% said Bidenomics works “very well.”
On inflation, 64% of voters say Harris bears a “great deal” or “some” of the blame for the rise in grocery prices since 2021, and 51% of voters said they were better off financially under Trump.
Only 8% of voters in the survey said Harris’ performance on the border was “very strong,” with 47% saying her performance has been “very weak.”
Harris’ support for reparations for Black Americans is supported by only 27% of voters in these states, with 60% opposing her stance.
The American Greatness poll was conducted by North Star Opinion Research among 1400 likely voters, 200 per state, in each of the seven battleground states.
