As with all the discussions on national polls, it’s necessary to point out that national polls have no meaning. We don’t have national elections.

Blue states are gonna blue state and red states are gonna red state, so the President will be decided by a handfull of states that don’t reliably vote one way or another, and frankly, we just don’t have enough good data on a Harris nomination to say one way or another.

Looking at the notable states I’ve looked at before, this data is from before Biden dropped out.

Arizona - Trump +6 vs Harris

Nevada - Trump +10 vs Harris

New Mexico - No data for Harris.

Georgia - Trump +5 vs Harris

North Carolina - Trump +4 vs Harris

Pennsylvania - Trump +4 vs Harris

Michigan - Trump +5 vs Harris

Wisconsin - Tied.

Minnesota - No data for Harris.

Harris also puts Virginia in play now as well, in what was assumed to be a blue state, now Trump +4.

So this is her starting point. She has 105 days to turn this around. The Democratic convention in August is key.

As of right now though? Here’s the map:
