WASHINGTON - Vice President Kamala Harris is gaining momentum in key Sun Belt states, according to a new poll, that spells trouble for former President Donald Trump.

The New York Times/Siena College poll, conducted between Aug. 8 and Aug. 15, found that Harris is leading Trump among likely voters in Arizona 50% to 45% and among likely voters in North Carolina 49% to 47%.

Trump is leading Harris by a narrow margin among likely voters in Nevada 48% to 47% and in Georgia by 50% to 46%, according to the poll.

The poll, conducted among 2,670 registered voters, has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points for the likely electorate.

The findings come as Harris has been breaking fundraising numbers and generating large crowds at rallies since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race. In July, her campaign said she raised over $300 million in July.
