Des Moines, IA – A new poll conducted by Rodriguez Gudelunas Strategies between September 19th and
23rd reveals Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump in the key battleground states of Michigan and
Wisconsin, while the race is tied in Pennsylvania. The survey of 400 likely voters in each state also show
Democratic Senate candidates leading in all three states.
Former Lt. Gov. Patty Judge, co-founder of Focus on Rural America said, “It’s a big mistake to think
Trump-Vance have a lock on rural voters. Harris-Walz are out performing Trump and Vance in farm
state battlegrounds and they maintain a strong advantage on issues that matter the most to rural
voters.”
“Senate Democrats also hold decisive leads in key Midwest battlegrounds,” continued Judge. “Democrat
appeal runs deep in rural America, including access to rural health care, fighting for farmers and
biofuels, and protecting investments in climate smart agriculture.”
Presidential Race Highlights:
- Michigan: Harris leads Trump 51% to 45%.
- Wisconsin: Harris leads Trump 51% to 45%.
- Pennsylvania: Harris and Trump are tied at 48%.
Harris’ support is particularly strong among independent voters and women, with significant gender
gaps in Michigan and Wisconsin. Harris leads among women by 20 points in Michigan and 21 points in
Wisconsin, while Trump holds an edge with male voters.
Key Issues Where Harris-Walz Lead: - Working with both parties: Harris-Walz lead by 12-16 points across the three states.

- Telling the truth and leading with character: Harris-Walz lead by 7-13 points across the board.
