A CNN poll conducted by SRSS showed that in North Carolina, 48% of likely voters support Kamala Harris compared to 47% for Donald Trump. In Georgia, the same poll showed 48% support for Trump and 47% for Harris.

In Michigan, a recent Washington Post poll revealed that 47% support the vice president, while 46% back the former president.
