Vice President Kamala Harris is tied with former President Donald Trump in several key battleground states just days after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her, a series of new Fox News polls found.
The network conducted surveys of registered voters in Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, network anchor Bret Baier announced on Friday evening’s edition of Special Report.
In Michigan, Fox News found Harris and Trump tied at 49 percent while Harris led Trump by six points – 52-46 percent – in Minnesota.
The survey also found the two candidates each tied with 49 percent support in Pennsylvania while Trump was found to have been leading Harris in Wisconsin by one point with 50 percent support compared to Harris’ 49 percent.
Minnesota was the only state with results outside of the margin of error of +/- three points. Biden won the state in 2020 by just over seven points.
A Republican has not won the state of Minnesota since then-President Gerald Ford did so in 1976.
Trump carried the remaining states – Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – in 2016 but narrowly lost all three in 2020.
The surveys were conducted between July 22 and July 24 among registered voters and as Baier noted, they found Harris performing better against Trump than Biden was before he exited the race.
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy told Baier that Friday’s numbers would help stave off a potential challenge to Harris next month at the Democratic National Convention.
