BOTTOM LINE:
Of these 7 swing state polls, the Nevada one is the most surprising. Why? Trump had a double-digit lead in a New York Times/ Siena poll earlier this month and now the race is tied, at least according to this poll. Biden has gained ground in some of the swing states and had tightened the race up again it is beginning to appear. In the April Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll, Trump was leading by 5 in Arizona, 6 in Georgia, 8 in Nevada, 10 in North Carolina, 1 in Pennsylvania, and 4 in Wisconsin, Biden was leading by 2 in Michigan.
The Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll was conducted between May 7-13, posted on May 21st, 2024, posted by Real Clear Politics, surveyed 4,962 registered voters across seven states (795 registered voters in Arizona, 795 in Georgia, 704 in Michigan, 459 in Nevada, 704 in North Carolina, 812 in Pennsylvania and 693 in Wisconsin) and has a margin of error of +/- 1% across the seven states (3 percentage points in Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania; 4 percentage points in Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, and 5 percentage points in Nevada) You will find the polling data at the link below.
