New NYT Poll Finds Trump and Harris ‘Neck and Neck’

A new poll from The New York Times (Lean Left bias) and Siena College found former President Donald Trump narrowly leading Vice President Kamala Harris among nationwide voters, 48% to 47%.

The Details: The poll, which carries a 2.8% margin of error, was conducted from September 3 to 6 and surveyed 1,695 voters. It found Harris to lead Trump in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, while the two are virtually tied in Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina.

For Context: Since formally announcing her campaign in July, Harris has seen a surge in popularity, which was capped off by the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month.

Key Quote: Trump spokesperson Jason Miller told Politico (Lean Left bias), “The honeymoon is officially over. Kamala Harris has been exposed as a Radical Left individual who owns the destruction of our economy and our border.”

How The Media Covered It: Outlets across the spectrum noted that Harris’ momentum from August has ostensibly stalled, but Politico noted in a headline that it hasn’t necessarily reversed. Both The Times and Fox News (Right bias) noted that the results are similar to the last NYT/Siena poll, which came in late July. The Times wrote that the poll’s findings demonstrate that Trump’s support “remains remarkably resilient.”
