Vice President Harris leads former President Trump on the question of whether the president will “pursue a foreign policy which benefits people like you,” but trails him on the same question in swing states, according to a new poll from the Institute for Global Affairs (IGA) and YouGov.
Fifty-three percent of Americans say Harris is more likely than Trump to “pursue a foreign policy which benefits people like you,” while 47 percent say Trump would.
In swing states, however, Trump leads Harris 53 percent to 47 percent on the same question.
The swing states in question in the August 2024 survey, released Monday, focus on the three nothern battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan; and three southern battleground states of Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. North Carolina, a seventh state the two candidates are battling over, was not a part of the poll.
Trump has the edge over Harris among the northern swing state respondents as he won 51 percent, while Harris has the edge in the southern states with 52 percent.
Harris similarly has the lead over Trump, 52 percent to 48 percent, among Americans who say she is more likely to “be a strong leader who advances America’s interests internationally.”
Swing states, however, associate this sentiment with Trump more than they do Harris, 54 percent to 46 percent, including 55 percent of the northern states and 53 percent of the southern swing states.
Fifty-two percent of Americans say Harris is more likely to “respond effectively to pandemic, mass migration, or similar international crisis,” while 48 percent say the same about Trump.
In swing states, however, Trump leads on this issue, 51 percent to 49 percent, but the southern and northern swing stage sample groups, when taken separately, are split, at 50 percent for each candidate.
Harris is seen nationally as more likely than Trump to “improve America’s international reputation,” by a margin of 53 percent to 47 percent.
Fifty-one percent of swing state voters say the same about Trump, including 51 percent of the northern state respondents. The southern swing state respondents, however, says Harris is more likely than Trump, 51 percent to 49 percent, to improve the country’s international reputation.
The former president and vice president remain locked in a tight race, especially in some swing states, where they remain less than 1 percentage point away from each other, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s polling average. Nationally, the vice president is leading her GOP opponent by 3.6 percentage points, 50.3 percent to 46.7 percent, the index shows.
The survey, conducted Aug. 15 to 22, included 1,835 U.S. adults and had a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points. The margins of error for the northern and southern swing states are 5.6 percentage points and 5.7 percentage points, respectively.
