Neck-and-Neck in Georgia and North Carolina
The battle for the White House shows no clear leader in two pivotal Southern battleground states, with former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris virtually tied among likely voters. In Georgia, Trump holds a slim edge at 48% to Harris’s 47%, while in North Carolina, Harris leads slightly with 48% to Trump’s 47%. Both results fall within each poll’s margin of error, indicating an evenly split electorate in both states.
High Stakes in Critical Battlegrounds
North Carolina and Georgia have emerged as major focus points in this year’s election. Once solidly Republican, North Carolina narrowly backed former President Barack Obama in 2008 but leaned Republican in the past three presidential elections. Trump won the state by a small margin in 2020, reflecting its potential to swing either way this year. Georgia’s status as a battleground grew after Joe Biden won the state in 2020, marking a Democrat’s first victory there since 1992.
Southern States Remain Competitive
Both campaigns are fiercely contesting Georgia and North Carolina, where voter turnout and demographic shifts could play decisive roles. Harris’s campaign is counting on expanding Democratic support, while Trump’s team is focused on securing strong Republican turnout. As Election Day draws near, both states remain unpredictable, with polls reflecting tight margins and no clear frontrunner.
