WASHINGTON (OSV News) — Vice President Kamala Harris has a slight lead over former President Donald Trump in all three Rust Belt swing states, a new Marist Poll found.
Another poll shows a significant share of Americans are concerned about post-election violence. Meanwhile Minnesota’s bishops are encouraging the state’s Catholics to not despair in the political process, but vote with their faith informing their exercise of citizenship.
Those three states — which supported Trump in 2016 and opposed him in 2020 — will be key factors in determining whether Trump or Harris secures the requisite 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency.
Pennsylvania in particular, with its 19 electoral votes, may live up to its nickname as the “keystone” contest in the election.
“The Keystone State is the biggest prize of the three highly competitive so-called Blue Wall states,” Lee M. Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, said in a statement. “The good news for Harris is she is running stronger among independents and white voters than Biden did four years ago.
The bad news is the gender gap is not as wide here as it was in 2020 or, in fact, where it is elsewhere now.”
The same pollster Oct. 24 found Trump with a similar slight lead in North Carolina by 2 points, 1 point in Arizona and a tie between the pair in Georgia.

Marist Poll: Harris leads in Rust Belt swing states
The Nov. 1 poll of those states found Harris leading Trump by 3 percentage points in Michigan and 2 points in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The results mark a slight increase for Harris in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and a slight decrease for her in Michigan, compared to the same poll conducted in September, and all are within the margin of error.Those three states — which supported Trump in 2016 and opposed him in 2020 — will be key factors in determining whether Trump or Harris secures the requisite 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency.
