Right now, if search interest scores were votes, it’d be safe to say that Harris would be carrying the state’s three largest metros with room to spare, as the Democratic Party candidate has scores of 76, 75 and 74 in Phoenix, Tucson and Yuma, respectively.
Those totals nearly triple Trump’s sums in the three areas, with the former reality TV show star notching search interest scores of 24 (Phoenix), 25 (Tucson) and 26 (Yuma), speaking to the vast divide in electoral preferences between Arizona’s urban and rural areas.
Swing States: Harris vs. Trump
State | Harris Search Interest Score | Trump Search Interest Score |
Arizona | 72 | 95 |
Georgia | 69 | 81 |
Michigan | 77 | 100 |
North Carolina | 74 | 84 |
Pennsylvania | 80 | 95 |
Nevada | 67 | 89 |
Wisconsin | 75 | 87 |
Despite Harris’ large lead in terms of search interest scores in places like Phoenix, Tucson and Yuma, the Democratic flagbearer in the 2024 election lags behind Trump statewide, with a total of 72 to the Republican’s score of 95.
That divide between Harris and Trump in Arizona is similar to other swing states, with the Republican former president notching better totals in Georgia (81 to 69), Michigan (100 to 77), North Carolina (84 to 74), Pennsylvania (95 to 80), Nevada (89 to 67) and Wisconsin (87 to 75).
Luckily for Harris’ camp, the election isn’t determined by search traffic online, which gives the former Senator from California a few more days to try and hammer home her camp’s message so they can appeal to voters, as the Democrats look to keep their spot in the White House through 2028 on Nov. 5.
