Former President Trump has widened his lead over Vice President Harris in Georgia, according to a new poll, as the rivals fight for inches in key states in the Southeast.
A new Quinnipiac University poll shows Trump up 6 points over Harris in the Peach State, with 50 percent support to her 44 percent. Another 3 percent backed other candidates.
That’s a slightly bigger lead than Trump enjoyed last month, when the pollster found Trump up 4 points among likely Georgia voters.
Meanwhile, Trump has a 2-point lead in the critical swing state of North Carolina, which Quinnipiac notes is too close to call.
“All eyes are on the South as Georgia and North Carolina, turbocharged by 32 electoral votes between them, can make or break the two candidates in a race that looks to be leaning Trump’s way in Georgia at the moment and churning toward a tight finish in North Carolina,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said in a statement.
