Everything ive seen is the national head-to-head, but I've heard Trump was leading in key battleground states.

I haven't seen much on Kamala v Trump in those states so what is her path to victory if she were pull the upset?

What states must she win and what are her chances?

Same as Biden.

The map has not changed since Kamala as assumed the Democrat nomination.

3 out of 5 wins the election for either side.

Georgia (Trump +7.5 over Harris)
Arizona
Wisconsin
Pennsylvania (Trump +4.0 over Harris)
Michigan

No decent polling in other states but Trump was up over Biden in all three.

Upset potential states:

Harris: North Carolina
Trump: Minnesota and Virginia

Winning any of these upset potential states would cause the other to have to go 4/5 in the true battlegrounds.

Georgia polling is approaching "in the bag" for Trump, which would cause AZ, MI, PA, WI to be 2 for Trump, 3 for Harris.

Assuming no upsets, Trump can win with just Georgia and Pennsylvania, I think. That would put him at 270 or 271 depending on the 2nd District in Maine (which favors Trump).

Pennsylvania is the KEY state. If Democrats don't win there, the path gets really hard.

Don't be so sure. I suspect that Roy Cooper gets the VP nod. Ther is no seat loss in senate or Gov. People in the south hate Kamala. She needs a southern accent on the ticket to stand a chance.

In addition Cooper has a very strong fundraising network here in the state. NC is in play if Cooper is on the ticket, which means GA is as well.

It would be wise for Kamala to focus on winning the state of consciousness, and then she could focus on the 56 others Obama told her about.

It kinda sux because democrats can win fewer states and get elected.

Republicans have to win more states to get elected

Some new polling just released



Harris leads in PA with Shapiro as VP, still down in NC with Cooper and AZ with Kelly. When messaging is included, Harris loses support in all four of these swing states.

Pretty much.

Those are worth about 40 EVs between them. The only path she has without that would mean flipping states that haven’t gone blue in the last few cycles, and losing those two means she probably loses the remainder of the Rust Belt outside of Illinois.

AZ isn't.

If she wins all the states a Democrat SHOULD win (NM, Minnesota, VA etc) and she sweeps WI, MI, PA, she wins.

If she loses any one of those states, she is in serious trouble. If she loses PA she loses, period.

Democrats have no viable path without PA.

With Shapiro, she might lose MI and MN though

if you go by the 270-to-win Consensus Map:

270-to-Win

then trump has 251 EV to Dems 226 with the following states as battlegrounds:

NV - 6
PA - 19
AZ - 11
MI - 15
WI - 10

trump needs 19 or more to win, so if he takes PA and holds his red on map its over.

Dems will need 3 combos to win:

PA MI AZ - 271
PA MI WI - 270
PA AZ WI NV - 272

For those who think 2020 was stolen (as I do), do you see ANY changes in these five states that will prevent another steal?
