Trump with slight edge over Harris in this crucial Western battleground: poll

With two weeks to go until Election Day on Nov. 5, a new poll in swing state Nevada indicates a margin-of-error race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump.

According to the survey by AARP, Trump edged Harris 49%-47% in a head-to-head match up for the state's highly coveted six electoral votes. The Republican presidential nominee holds an even slimmer 47%-46% one-point margin over the Democratic Party standard-bearer in a full ballot with third-party candidates. The survey is the latest of likely voters to indicate a coin-toss race in Nevada.

As he runs to win back the White House, Trump aims to become the first GOP presidential nominee to carry Nevada since President George W. Bush in his 2004 re-election victory. Trump narrowly lost the Silver State in both his 2016 White House victory and in his 2020 re-election loss to President Biden.

The AARP survey, conducted Oct. 8-15 and released on Tuesday, indicates the former president holding a narrow advantage among independent voters. It also points to a large gender gap, with Trump up 18 points among men, while Harris leads women by 15 points.

Recent polls in Nevada and across the nation indicate an erosion of support for Democrats among Latino voters, and according to the AARP poll, Trump enjoys a slight lower-single digit edge over Harris among those voters.
