According to Trafalgar, which conducted a poll between August 28 and 30, Trump is predicted to win 44 electoral votes in November from the crucial Blue Wall states, barely defeating opponents in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Between August 29 and August 31, Insider Advantage conducted polling in four additional battleground states; Trump won Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina. These states are still statistically tied, which means the results could go either way. The former president wins Trafalgar in the Wolverine State by a narrow margin, 47% to 46.6%.
