Fox News Poll: Harris closes gap with Trump in Sun Belt states
Fox news by way of MSN ^ | 08/28/2024 | Victoria Balara

Posted on 08/28/2024 5:54:26 PM PDT by thegagline

While support for Donald Trump has held steady, Kamala Harris has improved on Joe Biden’s 2024 election numbers in four battleground states, driven by strong support among women, Black voters, and young voters. In addition, while Trump leads on top issues, more voters see Harris as the one who can unite the country -- and who will "fight for people like you." That’s according to new Fox News statewide surveys in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina.

Each survey includes about 1,000 registered voters and was conducted August 23-26, post Democratic National Convention and just after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out and endorsed Trump.

The surveys, released Wednesday, find a close, two-way Harris-Trump race: Harris is up by 1 percentage point in Arizona and by 2 points in Georgia and Nevada, while Trump is ahead by 1 point in North Carolina. All are within the margin of sampling error. ***

Overall, in an average of the four states, Harris is ahead of Trump by a single point in the two-way match-up, 50% to 49%.

***

Harris receives 79% support among Black voters, 56% among Hispanics, 55% among those under age 30, and 51% among voters ages 65 and over.

***

There is a 22-point gender gap, as women prefer Harris by 11 points and men back Trump by 11.

Trump is carrying 65% of Whites without a college degree, 60% of rural voters, and 42% of Hispanics -- about the same as in 2020. He’s at 77% among White evangelical Christians, down from 83%. Yet, his support among Black voters has nearly tripled, from 7% to 19%.

Democrats are a touch more likely to back Harris (96%) than Republicans are to support Trump (94%), while Independents favor Harris by 6 points.

“Has FOX declared Harris the winner of Georgia yet?”

No but she has won Arizona and Florida, they say.

...and is therefore just another “happy happy joy joy” push-poll by the enemedia. And yes, Faux News is just as DNC as the rest of the lying snooze organizations.

How much do we really know about the people conducting Fox polls? In this election as never before, politicized libs are frightened liars, and any of them working for pollsters can be expected to be lying there as well.

For sure, but do the public school educated voters understand that?

They have to show tight polls so the steal won’t look so bad.

Fox polls have always been down on Trump, Fox polls have no credibility.

So you’re inclined to believe the polling from the politically motivated biased polling companies? I could tell Obama was going to win as soon as McCain secured the GOP nomination... Couldn’t you?

Fox polls are run by a democrat and are notoriously wrong.

It's totally obvious that along with the Free campaign talking points (reported 24/7 by the MSM right up to Election Night), the "Polls" MUST be reported as showing Heels Up Harris is leading, to make the Steal look to be "PROVEN" by Polling Results. The "90+%" Certainty of a projected Hillary win reported in 2016 was their first error. In 2020, they KNEW Trump would be "out-voted" by the mail-in's and late reported truckloads of fabricated ballots.

What a joke.

Harris, like Biden, doesn't have to campaign at all, or answer LEGITIMATE questions; just softball "interviews", with complicit media, and Tampon Tim always present to word-parse and correct her giggling, subject-absent responses.

No, I held out hope. Especially with LS giving us encouraging updates all through summer. Election night was hard. Almost as bad as 2020.

FOX has to show fairness and balance, even if they have to lie about it. A poll showing Trump way ahead would bring accusations from the left-wing about FOX being in the tank for Trump. FOX needs viewers from democrats and republicans and independents and all others. One way to keep a big audience is to pretend that the polls are still close.

Pols like McCain were one of the worst things to ever happen to the GOP.

Fox Polls are never accurate.

They are usually anywhere from 2% to 12% lower than Trump’s real numbers. They are push polling for Kamalatcha, the Tamil Tigress.

I suppose they need everyone to think its a close race-.

Trump is way out in front, in all states.

Their polls have always skewed left for some bizarre reason (maybe not so bizarre given we have learned of late that they’ve taken Conservatives for ride for the last 10-20 years) . Britt Hume even called them out years ago during one of Special Report’s end of show roundtables.
