The latest polling from Marist College proves one thing: Donald Trump, the former president, is not just still in the game but is leading in multiple key Sun Belt states, sending Kamala Harris scrambling like she just stepped in her own political mess. With less than two weeks to the election, Trump has a solid 50-48 lead over Harris in North Carolina, a 50-49 edge in Arizona, and is neck and neck with her at 49% in Georgia. This isn’t just good news; it’s downright hilarious given the media’s obsession with Harris as the candidate of choice.
North Carolina has historically been a Trump stronghold, and his numbers seem to suggest that he’s still the state’s favorite son—despite Harris’ attempts to make inroads. A September poll had them tied, but Trump has gained ground, showing he can still woo independents with a hefty 53% to Harris’ 42%. The RealClearPolitics average shows a well-deserved Trump lead, albeit a slim one, consistently pointing to a state that hasn’t swung for a Democrat since 2008. With Trump ramping up his rallies in the Tar Heel State, Harris might as well take a break, considering her campaign events there have flopped faster than a fish out of water.
Arizona is a different creature altogether, with Trump having lost the state to Biden in 2020 but managing a slim lead over Harris in the latest poll. Despite her supposed advantage among independent voters—who favor her 55% to 45%—Trump’s strong 53% to 46% lead with Latino voters is a telling shift. It seems the Hispanic vote may not be as solidly in the Democratic camp as they’d like to think. With both candidates deemed tied in the state’s political landscape, it’s clear to see that Trumps’ rallying cry has struck a chord with voters, while Harris has to contend with the baggage of the past election cycle.

In Georgia, the Peach State is proving to be the ultimate wrestling match, with the latest polls showing a dead heat at 49%. The October results highlight that Trump had previously been leading by a point, a reminder of the rollercoaster ride these elections can be. Harris has found a slight advantage among independent voters, leading Trump 55-40, but it might not be enough to tilt the scales in her favor, especially with Trump’s momentum in the recent weeks. It’s like watching a political chess game where Harris keeps making the same bad moves while Trump anticipates her every blunder.
Overall, these polling numbers should send Harris back to the drawing board, scrapping her grand plans for glory. With Trump firmly leading in North Carolina and Arizona, and showing a surprising resilience in Georgia, it appears the Dems are in for another tough ride. One must wonder if Harris has considered hiring someone for a crash course in campaign strategy before her next round of perilous rallies, particularly with political heavyweights like Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen likely having their own set of distractions this week. It’s a party on a sinking ship, and here’s hoping they forget their life vests.
