I love some good news on the weekend.
It’s too early to get too hopeful— because I still think this election is going to be a nailbiter—but it looks as though Trump might be taking the lead in some crucial states.
Former President Donald Trump has taken the lead in every battleground state, according to polling averages calculated by RealClear Polling.
Since Thursday, Trump has been edging out Vice President Kamala Harris in the vital battlegrounds; his overall average lead in the states increased by +0.3 by Saturday.
In Arizona, Trump is performing his best, up by 1.8 points, followed by Georgia (+1.7), North Carolina (+1.0), and Michigan (+0.9). The former president also holds leads in Nevada (+0.8), Pennsylvania (+0.5), and Wisconsin, where the lead is extremely tight, at +0.1.
RealClear Polling calculates the average of numerous polls, including The New York Time/Siena College, The Wall Street Journal, The Hill/Emerson, the Trafalgar Group, and others.
I don’t put too much stock in the polls, but it is interesting to see a shift starting to happen. Kamala has had a series of large-scale fails recently—whether it be skipping the Al Smith dinner, appearing on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, or telling rally attendees who shouted “Jesus is Lord” that they were at the “wrong rally”—and it’s starting to catch up with her.
My biggest hope is that Kamala keeps flapping her gums, as that will likely be her downfall.
