(NewsNation) — America’s battleground states are polling neck and neck between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, recent polls show.

Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Penn., tells “On Balance with Leland Vittert” the newest numbers are the result of voters wanting to avoid another four years of Trump’s “chaos” and “indecency.”

A New York Times/Siena College poll found Harris closing gaps with the GOP nominee, overtaking him in some states like Arizona (50% to 45%) and North Carolina (49% to 47%). 

On average, Harris and Trump tied at 48% across the Sun Belt states.

Dean believes those polls don’t show Trump’s numbers dropping but rather an increase in Democratic voter engagement.

“I was a professor of writing at La Salle University in Philadelphia. Young people wanted to be engaged and enthused about the future,” she said. “That’s what’s so clear here.”

The polling results show a dramatic shift for Democrats following President Biden’s exit from the race. A similar survey from May showed that Trump led Biden by 50% to 41% in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada.

“She’s right when she says she’s an underdog. She’s been in this only a month,” Dean said, adding that swing voters are “distressed” about another GOP presidency.
