NBC News’ Decision Desk has released its Electoral College Ratings, analyzing the competitiveness of races to be held in November. Factors like historical electoral results, election polling, voter registration data, political advertising, and candidate assessments are considered in determining the ratings.
Key battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nebraska District 2, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are highlighted in the analysis. In Arizona, President Joe Biden won by a slim margin in 2020 after Trump’s victory in 2016. Georgia also saw a narrow victory for Biden in 2020, despite Trump winning in 2016. Michigan, a swing state, went for Biden by 2.8 points in 2020.
Nebraska District 2, traditionally conservative, leaned towards Biden in 2020. Nevada, a Democratic stronghold, is considered a toss-up this year. In North Carolina, Trump won by 1.3 points in 2020, maintaining the state’s Republican streak since 2008. Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground, saw a 1.2-point victory for Biden in 2020. Wisconsin, another swing state, went for Biden by 0.6 points in 2020.
Overall, these battleground states play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the presidential election. Trump and Harris are in statistical ties in several states, making the race highly competitive. These ratings provide valuable insights into the electoral landscape, highlighting the importance of each state in the upcoming election.
