A new survey in a Nebraska congressional district that could decide who ends up winning the presidential election this year should it be exceptionally close is not good news for former President Donald Trump.

According to the Remington Research Group poll, Vice President Kamala Harris is leading Trump by eight points in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. Trump held a narrow lead there prior to President Joe Biden’s decision to end his reelection bid and endorse his VP, DailyMail.com reported.

The candidates’ schedules highlight the district’s significance. On Wednesday, Donald Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance, attended a grassroots fundraiser at a local bar. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, stopped there on his way to the Democratic convention in Chicago, using the opportunity to discuss his background.

Walz, who grew up in Butte and Valentine, Nebraska, emphasized his midwestern roots and experience as an assistant high school football coach during his Wednesday night convention speech. Delegates, showing their support, were given signs reading “Coach Walz.”

President Joe Biden won the district 52-46 in 2020, but it didn’t affect the overall result of the race where he won 306 to 232, DailyMail.com reported.

Remarkably, the Remington survey has Harris narrowly leading Trump on the economy, 47 to 46, though nearly every other poll up to this point has had voters backing Trump’s stewardship of the economy during his term by wide margins.

Meanwhile, Trump appears to have retaken his lead in national polling after an initial surge in support for Harris after Biden dropped out in July.

Harris has enjoyed a solid month of favorable reporting in most mainstream media outlets — all of which lean to the left on their editorial pages — while Trump’s coverage has been proportionally negative. According to Axios, previous polling by the Cook Political Report published last week showed Harris leading Trump in Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Similarly, a New York Times/Siena College poll released last week found Harris with a narrow lead in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

However, a more recent survey by Navigator Research, published Tuesday, indicates that the race is essentially tied in Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Individually, Trump leads Harris by one percentage point in Arizona (46% to 45%) and by two points in Pennsylvania (46% to 44%), while the other three states are in a dead heat.

The Navigator survey is consistent with the RealClearPolitics Polling average of battleground states, which also includes Nevada and Georgia.

The vice president is performing better in the battleground states than Biden did before he exited the race last month. Prior to Biden’s departure on July 21, Trump had held a lead of over 4 percent across the seven states in the RCP average, with his advantage widening as the announcement approached.

A co-founder of a major super PAC supporting Harris turned heads on Monday after suggesting that her polling numbers are being overstated.

Reuters reported that Chauncey McLean, president of Future Forward, a super PAC that has raised hundreds of millions to support Harris this election cycle, spoke on Monday at an event in Chicago associated with the Democratic National Convention.

“Our numbers are much less rosy than what you’re seeing in the public,” said McLean, who rarely speaks in public.

According to McLean, Kamala Harris gained a lot of support from young voters of color after Biden withdrew, which has revived Democratic prospects in Sunbelt states like Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina—states that Democrats had largely dismissed in the final days of Biden’s campaign.

“She has multiple paths,” with seven states in play, he said, according to Reuters. He added that voters want more details about her policy positions, according to internal polling. He asserts that voters are not interested in “white papers” or empty platitudes.

Instead, they want concrete examples of how Harris might differ from Biden and how she plans to improve their economic situation, he said.
