Shock poll shows Donald Trump with a substantial lead in critical swing state

 

 

Donald Trump is leading Kamala Harris in yet another Arizona poll, this time grabbing a 6 percent lead that exceeds his edge in polling averages.

Trump leads Harris by six points, 48 to 42, in the new USA Today / Suffolk University poll.

Trump has led in multiple polls over a period of weeks in the state. The result comes as Harris prepared to visit the border and rolled out ad stressing efforts to control the border.

The poll has Harris with a 47 percent plurality among Hispanic voters, with Trump garnering 35 percent support.

Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego leads Trump ally Kari Lake 47 to 41 in a Suffolk poll of the hot Senate race there, in a state with Republican leanings that Joe Biden carried in 2020.

Trump also led Harris in an Arizona Fox poll released Thursday, but a smaller 51 to 48 percent margin.
