According to a New York Times poll released Monday morning, former President Donald Trump is ahead of Kamala Harris in critical battleground states Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina.

From Fox News:

Trump is leading Harris in Arizona by five points in a 50%-45% spread, and he holds a similar 49%-45% lead in Georgia. Harris is closer to the former president in North Carolina, however, where the race sits at 49%-47%, according to the poll.

The Times conducted its poll from Sept. 17-21, surveying 2,077 likely voters across all three states.

Arizona and Georgia would be major victories for Trump in the general election, as both are states that President Biden won in 2020. Arizona in particular represents a major swing toward Trump, where a Times poll in August found Harris leading by five points.

The Times survey comes days after a Fox News national poll found Harris leading Trump by two points in a 50%-48% matchup.

“Our best estimates are that if Trump is within 2 points of Harris nationally then he will likely win in the Electoral College,” said Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts Fox News surveys with Democrat Chris Anderson. “These data showing a Trump edge in the key counties and battleground states suggest that’s probably right.”

Many pundits suspect that the Harris campaign is pushing another debate due to Kamala’s inability to gain ground in the polls — “Kamalamentum” has stalled out.

“The @NYTimes is reporting some of its state-by-state polls this AM,” conservative radio host Hug Hewitt shared on X. “Former President Donald Trump is ahead of VP Harris in Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina –by 5, 4 and 2 points respectively. No wonder Harris is banging the table for another debate. She is losing. And the Oprah debacle hasn’t fully figured into the polling yet.”
