65% : Harris repeats Biden's 2020 victoryReturn to menuWhen Harris first became the Democratic nominee, it looked as though she might overtake Trump in all seven battleground states and be able to repeat -- or even surpass -- Biden's 2020 victory.
62% : Overall, though, the polls have been pretty stable, consistently showing the race as a toss-up or that Harris and Trump are equally likely to win the presidency.
48% : Trump leads by only two points in Arizona and Georgia and less than one point in North Carolina.
42% : Since late August, however, her rise has stalled and she is behind Trump in Georgia, Arizona and North Carolina, according to The Post's polling average.
38% : While she initially gained ground in all four states compared to Biden and maintains a one-point lead in Nevada, she is still behind Trump in Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.
30% : It's possible, for instance, that Trump is underestimated in the Rust Belt, similar to 2016 or 2020, and that Harris is underestimated in the Sun Belt.
26% : Check out how Harris and Trump stack up according to The Washington Post's presidential polling averages of seven battleground states.
19% : Spoiler alert: Not much has changed for either Harris or Trump.
