The Washington Post and Schar School conducted a new set of polls in the seven US election swing states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The results show that likely voters in each state are split between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in the race for the White House.
The polls, carried out between September 30 and October 15, did not ask the traditional direct confrontation question between the two candidates, but measured the probability of voters leaving home to vote for each candidate separately.
In all seven states, the share of likely voters who say they will “definitely” or “probably” support Kamala and the share who say they will “definitely” or “probably” support Trump are within the margin of error for that state.
Another Post-Schar survey carried out in May in swing states (with the exception of North Carolina) shows that the level of support for Trump has remained practically stable since then.
On the other hand, the share of voters who are likely to support the vice president in her candidacy for the Democratic Party exceeds the share who previously said they would likely support President Joe Biden as a candidate.
The poll suggests that about 21% of likely voters in swing states are not yet fully committed to Kamala or Trump, with those voters likely to be younger or voters of color.
