Synopsis

In the lead-up to the U.S. elections, Donald Trump is positioned to potentially win Nevada for the first time, according to recent polling data.

U.S elections: Trump could win Nevada for the first time due to these voters

As the U.S. elections approach, Donald Trump is showing promising numbers in Nevada, with a recent AARP poll indicating he has a 49% to 47% lead over Vice President Kamala Harris. This shift is significant, as it could mark the first time Trump wins Nevada’s six electoral votes. Key to this lead is his strong support among independent voters, a crucial demographic in tight elections.

Strong Independent Support in Nevada Boosts Trump

The poll reveals that Trump has captured 46% of unaligned voters, while Harris has only 39%. Additionally, he is performing well among swing voters aged 50 and older, leading Harris 41% to 27%. This demographic is known for its independence from party loyalty and prioritizes candidate quality. Among older voters overall, Trump leads with 51% compared to Harris's 44%, suggesting a potentially decisive advantage.

Breaking down the demographics, Trump's support among men over 50 is robust, at 56% compared to Harris’s 39%. However, the female voters in this age group lean slightly towards Harris, with a narrow 49% to 47% margin. Furthermore, Trump is performing well with white voters over 50, garnering 55%, while Harris leads with Hispanic voters in the same age group, securing 55% to Trump’s 40%.

Harris Shows Improvement Over Biden

While Trump holds a slight edge, Harris is faring better than President Biden did in similar polls. Biden trailed Trump by seven points just before he exited the race, largely due to weak support from independents. In contrast, Harris has increased her backing among Democrats and independents, making the race more competitive. As both candidates prepare for the upcoming elections, Nevada remains a critical battleground that could tip the balance of power in the Electoral College.
