A recent Fox News poll indicates that former President Donald Trump is positioned to secure Arizona in the upcoming U.S. Presidential election, with the state now shifting from a “toss-up” to a “lean Republican” designation. Newsweek reports that Fox News host Bill Hemmer, in a segment on America’s Newsroom, noted Trump’s lead in Arizona while also emphasizing that Vice President Kamala Harris could still clinch the Electoral College without winning Arizona by focusing on other battleground states.
Newsweek’s analysis aligns with an average of eight polls conducted since early September, showing Trump leading in seven of them, with Harris leading in only one. This shift in Arizona’s outlook has reshaped the competitive landscape, especially in key swing states.
Fox News highlighted that six of seven competitive battlegrounds are now considered toss-ups, with Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania—the core states of the Democratic “Blue Wall”—moving from “lean Democratic” to toss-up status. This adjustment reflects the close nature of the 2024 Presidential race, where Trump previously won all battleground states in 2016 and Biden won them in 2020.
Despite this, Newsweek reports that Harris remains viable in her path to victory. If she loses Arizona, winning other battleground states could still secure her a majority in the Electoral College. This upcoming election, marked by tightly contested states, is poised to be one of the closest in U.S. history.
