Recent polling by The New York Times and Siena College indicates that Vice President Kamala Harris is leading former President Donald Trump in several key Sun Belt states. In Arizona, Harris leads Trump by a margin of 50% to 45%. She also holds a narrow lead in North Carolina with 49% to Trump's 47%. Meanwhile, Trump maintains a slight advantage in Georgia with 50% to Harris's 46%, and in Nevada with 48% to Harris's 47%. These results highlight a significant shift from earlier in the year when Trump held a more substantial lead in these states. The polling suggests a competitive race in regions that are crucial for the upcoming election.
