In Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — all tight races — a new CBS News poll finds the larger contours of the entire presidential contest ahead of the first Harris-Trump debate.
- Michigan: Harris, 50%, Trump 49%
- Pennsylvania: Harris 50%, Trump 50%
- Wisconsin: Harris 51%, Trump 49%
“One one hand: Trump leads with voters who just don’t think they’re better off financially since the pandemic, whose incomes aren’t keeping up with inflation and especially with non-college and White voters who say this.”
“On the other hand, Harris holds her own in one sense. She’s actually a little better than even with Trump on looking out for the interests of the middle class. Trump is also seen as much likelier to try to help the interests of the wealthy across states.”
