Vice President Harris is holding her edge over former President Trump in Michigan and the race remains tight in Pennsylvania, according to a new poll from UMass Lowell and YouGov.
In Michigan, the poll found Harris leading Trump 48 percent to 43 percent overall, though the former president had the edge with independents, winning 36 percent support compared to Harris’s 29 percent.
Most Michigan voters are locked in on their candidate and say they won’t change their mind about who they will vote for in November.
Michigan is one of several key swing states both parties are looking to secure.
Harris’s running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) is headed this weekend to Ann Arbor to campaign and attend the Michigan-Minnesota football game.
According to a similar poll, the race is closer in Pennsylvania, another critical battleground state that could help determine the winner.
In the same poll, Harris earns 48 percent in Pennsylvania, while Trump trails closely with 46 percent support.
Four percent say they are undecided but like Michigan, Pennsylvania voters who are casting ballots for Harris and Trump say not much could change their mind before Election Day.
According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, Michigan and Pennsylvania are both toss-ups. Harris has a 64 percent chance of winning the Great Lake state and a 53 percent chance of winning the Keystone state. Nationally, Harris has a 55 percent chance of winning the presidency.
The surveys were conducted Sept. 11-19. The Michigan poll was conducted with 650 likely voters and has a margin of error of 4.37 percent. The Pennsylvania poll was conducted with 800 likely voters and has a margin of error of 4 percent.
