The US presidential election shaping up to be one of the tightest in history,
00:04
all eyes are on swing states. These are the seven states that, according to experts,
00:09
hold the keys to the White House, because they can be plausibly won by either candidate,
00:15
making them key battlegrounds for Republicans and Democrats.
00:18
Harris has seen strength in key states across the Midwest and most crucially Pennsylvania.
00:24
A new poll conducted by the New York Times and Siena College has found that Donald Trump is
00:29
ahead of her in three important Sunbelt states, Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.
00:35
Arizona, which was won by Joe Biden by around 10,000 votes in 2020,
00:40
presents a challenge for the Democrats. Trump is ahead 50% to 45%, according to the poll.
00:47
Trump has also gained a lead of 49% to 45% in Georgia,
00:52
where Biden won by just under 12,000 votes in the last election.
00:57
And in North Carolina, which Trump won by under 75,000 votes,
01:01
the former president has a slim lead, with 49% compared to 47% for Harris.
01:07
In a sign of just how tight the contest could be in these states,
01:11
around 15% of the electorate in all three describe themselves as undecided or definitely not decided.
01:18
According to the poll, this group of voters had leaned towards Harris in August,
01:22
but now lean slightly towards Trump.
