Suburban voters, who account for nearly half of the U.S. electorate and reflect the nation's diversity, are a pivotal voting bloc. In 2020, Biden won suburban counties by six points, but Trump was leading Biden 43% to 40?fore Harris entered the race. After Harris launched her campaign in July, she closed that gap and now leads Trump 47% to 41% among suburban voters.

Similarly, among middle-income households earning between $50,000 and $100,000 annually—another key group—Trump led Biden by seven points before July. But by October, Harris had overtaken Trump, leading 45% to 43%. This represents a nine-point shift in her favor, narrowing Trump's once-solid advantage.

The economy remains a central issue in the election. While Trump continues to be seen as the stronger candidate on economic matters, Harris' focus on affordability and support for middle-class households has resonated with voters, helping her reduce Trump's lead on this front. Her supporters are also drawn to her stances on democracy, political extremism, and abortion rights.

Despite Harris' gains, the election remains close, with battleground states like Arizona, Michigan, and Georgia playing crucial roles. Voters in these states have shifted slightly toward Harris, mirroring the national trend.

For many, like Sheila Lester in Arizona, Harris represents hope for change. “I’m more pro-Harris than anti-Trump now,” she said, echoing the sentiments of other voters in this tightly contested race.
