Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly leads former President Donald Trump nationally in the latest polling, but it may not be enough.
Two weeks out from Election Day, Trump holds a lead over Harris in all seven of the closest swing states, according to the Real Clear Politics, which averages recent polls in those states.
In 2020, Biden won Arizona with its 11 electoral votes, Nevada with its 6 electoral votes, Georgia with its 16 electoral votes, Pennsylvania with its 19 electoral votes, Michigan with its 15 electoral votes and Wisconsin with its 10 electoral votes.

This time around, Trump is leading in all seven states, though his lead is less than two points in each state, leaving them all in the “toss-up” category.
If Trump wins all seven of those states, he will easily win the presidential election two short weeks from now. However, Trump’s lead is small in each state with a flurry of campaign stops and each state with its own respective issues.
Trump leads Harris by an average of 1.8 points in Arizona, where Hispanic voters make up about a third of the state.
A USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Monday reports that Trump leads Harris with Hispanics, 49% to 38%.
Those numbers would help Trump in Nevada as well, where RCP has Trump up by 0.8% and Hispanics are nearly a third of the population.
As The Center Square previously reported, Biden received 58% support from Hispanic voters when he beat Trump in 2020.
Border issues have also become front-of-mind in the southwestern state, which has seen a flood of migrants enter the state as have other states since Vice President Kamala Harris took office.
Harris has done her best to distance herself from her work on immigration for the Biden administration, but questions about her as a “border czar” persist, showing that she has not fully broken the connection to her candidacy and the current border crisis.
