Good news: Nevada _might_ not be as iffy as it heretofore appeared. It doesn’t have a lot of electoral votes, so any paths to victory that include Nevada also must include some other swing state(s)…but, if other high-quality polls confirm this in the next week, this would make me breathe a bit easier. > [@Kamala Harris and the runup to the 2024 Presidential Election](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kamala-harris-and-the-runup-to-the-2024-presidential-election/1004571/565): > > The week starts with excellent polling news: [CBS News/YouGov poll](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-poll-kamala-harris-policies-trump-democratic-convention-2024/) has Harris up nationally by 2% or 3%. [Focaldata](https://www.semafor.com/article/08/18/2024/harris-leads-trump-in-five-of-seven-battlegrounds-poll) has Harris up +6 in Nevada! Penn is +1% Michigan +7% Georgia is down 4% Arizona is down 1% North Carolina is +1% Wisconsin +6% Sadly, it does confirm Georgia as very problematic. As I just posted minutes ago, we can’t count on Georgia as part of a path to victory (but nor should we just give up there). It also confirms PA as a toss-up. That is most worrisome of all. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-can-donald-trump-win-at-this-point/1005351)._
