Vice President Kamala Harris holds a marginal lead over Republican rival Donald Trump in the critical battleground states of Michigan and Wisconsin. However, a recent CNN poll indicates they are neck-and-neck in Pennsylvania, with less than a week to go before the November 5 election.

In Michigan, Harris leads with 48% compared to Trump's 43% among likely voters. Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, her lead is slightly stronger at 51% to Trump's 45%. These states are part of the so-called 'blue wall' that played a significant role in President Joe Biden's victory over Trump in 2020.

In Pennsylvania, a state with 19 vital electoral votes, Harris and Trump are tied at 48% each. CNN conducted interviews from October 23-28 with likely voters across these states, with a reported margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.
