Vice President Kamala Harris now leads or ties Trump in six of seven key states, signaling an incredible comeback for the Democratic Party.
According to findings from the nonpartisan Cook Political Review released Wednesday, Harris has closed in on Trump.
Just last month, Trump was on the verge of winning every key state.
But Harris now holds leads in Arizona, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to the report’s poll.

In Georgia, the vice president and Trump are tied.
The former president still has a lead in Nevada, but that margin is narrowing.
Since May, Harris has managed to regain support in the Silver State, narrowing the gap by six points.

The president’s comparatively lackluster support helps explain why Trump held leads in each of the seven key states in May.
Harris’s rising fortunes were also evident in Cook’s decision earlier this month to reclassify three key states from “leaning Republican” to “battlefield.”
In addition to widespread concerns about the border, Trump maintains advantages on issues such as crime and inflation, according to the report.
The report attributed the vice president’s remarkable success in the poll to her ability to consolidate the Democratic base.

“Harris’ success in closing the gap is due to her consolidation of the Democratic base and increased support among independent voters,” the Cook Report said.
The poll also found that undecided and third-party voters “overwhelmingly” say they are more concerned about “Harris setting economic policy than Trump setting immigration policy.”
The report determined that the final stretch of the campaign will revolve around the definition of images and themes.
‘With supporters now equally engaged, the next 80 days will be a battle of inches centered on (re)defining the image of the vice president and defining the issues on which the presidential election will be fought.’
