A recent NYT/Siena poll shows President Trump is back on top in key battleground states. Sunbelt battleground states polling is disastrous for Kamala Harris and narrows her path to 270 electoral votes significantly. For President Trump, it gives him many new avenues to win the electoral college.

NY Times/Siena Polls: Trump Strong in Sun Belt
Donald Trump is showing strength among Sun Belt voters, who say the former president and Republican presidential nominee improved their lives during his four years in the White House.
They’re worried that Vice President Kamala Harris would not have the same effect if she were to win the presidential contest in November.
According to new polls of three key states from The New York Times and Siena College, Trump pulled ahead in Arizona and maintained his lead in Georgia – states that President Joe Biden won in 2020.

The Arizona poll found that Trump is ahead of Harris, 50% to 45%, with 10% of Latino voters saying they were now undecided.
According to the survey, 49% of Georgia voters support Trump and 45% support Harris. The former president’s advantage is slimmest in North Carolina, where the poll found him drawing 49% of the vote to the vice president’s 47%.

The Washington Examiner collected some comments from liberals who are not happy about this polling:
Yes, there is new NYT polling this morning with good data for Trump in AZ, GA, NC, but I want to be very clear — the NYT has been running 3-4 points more Republican than other pollsters of late, and there are at least three big problems with this new polling.
These polls show a 10 point swing to Trump in AZ and a 4 point swing to Trump in NC. Almost every other poll taken in the last few weeks shows Harris gaining ground, not falling behind. And a 10 point swing — come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last week the NYT found Harris up 4 in PA, this week down 5 in AZ. These two states had the same results in 2020 — small wins for Biden. But they 9 points apart now? Please.
