Donald Trump is growing his lead over Kamala Harris in Arizona and is still ahead in the battleground states of North Carolina and Georgia.
The New York Times and Siena College poll also showed that voters across the Sun Belt say their lives improved when Trump was in the White House.
The latest survey is further evidence that the 2024 election could be one of the closest in history in a sharply divided nation.
Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina are among the seven swing states that could ultimately decide the winner come November.
With 43 days until Election Day, the sprint to capture crucial voters continues.

Trump ally pushes Nebraska to change election law in move that could swing the election
A top Donald Trump ally is pressuring Nebraska Republicans to award all of their state's Electoral College votes to the statewide winner, a late-stage rule change that could potentially help return Trump to the White House.
Nebraska and Maine are the only states that split their electoral votes by congressional district, and both have done so in recent presidential elections.
In Nebraska, which is solidly Republican, that means one of the state's five votes is competitive for Democrats.
The district in question is the constituency encompassing Omaha, which could go either way come November.
Sen. Lindsey Graham , R-S.C., met recently with GOP lawmakers in the state to encourage them to make a change supported by the state's all-Republican congressional delegation and Republican Gov. Jim Pillen .
The change was discussed earlier this year but lacked the votes to pass. Now, with Trump in an extremely close race against Democrat Kamala Harris where every electoral vote matters, his allies are making another push.
‘To my friends in Nebraska, that one electoral vote could be the difference between Harris being president and not, and she’s a disaster for Nebraska and the world,’ Graham said Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press.
America's top election forecaster reveals prospect of a Donald Trump victory
America's top election forecaster has issued a chilling warning as he revealed Trump could win the 2024 race and people should start making 'contingency plans' now.
Nate Silver, a former professional poker player and political forecaster, has revealed his model gives Donald Trump a 58 percent chance of winning the Electoral College.
Silver, known for his uncanny ability to predict election outcomes, told The Guardian that people should be 'making their contingency plans, like, right away' while promoting his new book 'On the Edge' in London.
'One potential advantage of having a forecast that says … it's 50/50, is that people should be making their contingency plans, like, right away,' he said.
'It doesn't mean you need [to stockpile] ammo and peanut butter' – that giggle again – 'but it means, you know: what's your strategy to protect American institutions in the event of a Trump second term?'
RFK Jr. makes bombshell claims about 'obsessed' Olivia Nuzzi
It was later revealed she sent the 70-year-old scion nudes, described as 'demure' by a source who spoke to Puck News - the outlet to first report the story Friday night.
However, a Substack journalist and 'friend' of RFK Jr. says that this was part of a relentless campaign to woo him, though sources close to Nuzzi have claimed she was not the aggressor in the situation.
Jessica Read Kraus claims that her friend Kennedy first received contact from Nuzzi in November of 2023 after she'd published the story about going hiking with the presidential candidate.
