Cracks in Blue Wall? This new poll leaves Dems worried

Send Push
The Quinnipiac Poll released on Wednesday highlighted emerging challenges for Democrats, stating that the " Blue Wall Shows Cracks As Race Tightens." The poll indicates Vice President Kamala Harris holds a slight lead in Pennsylvania , while former President Trump appears to have the upper hand in Michigan and Wisconsin, Axios reported.

A poll by the Detroit News suggests that Harris may be gaining traction in Michigan, showing her with a three-point lead over Trump. Notably, 65% of Michigan residents believe Trump's tariff plan would increase consumer prices.

A Kamala Harris' official commented on this saying that the campaign has "always expected the Blue Wall to be this close."

David Axelrod, the mastermind behind Barack Obama's 2008 win, remarked that while Harris made steady progress following the September 10 debate, the race has now plateaued. He said that Harris "had a great launch, right through the convention and the debate. But in these campaigns, every time you clear a bar, the bar gets raised. You have to lift your game and adjust your strategy."

Harris is relying on the so-called "Blue Wall" to secure a victory in the White House, especially as she struggles in the Sunbelt.

Pennsylvania stands out as a crucial battleground for Harris. According to political analysts, the outcome in Pennsylvania could be indicative of the presidential election's direction.

Trump recently returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, for a major rally featuring Elon Musk and held back-to-back events in Scranton and Reading. In contrast, Harris will make her 10th visit to Pennsylvania this Monday, with her campaign reporting they knocked on 100,000 doors in the state last Saturday.
