With less than a week to go until the election, Democrat Kamala Harris maintains a slight lead over Republican Donald Trump in national polls. Both candidates have been busy making their final pitches to voters and visiting swing states. Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania, aiming to win the state as he did in 2016. Harris delivered a “closing argument” in Washington D.C. before heading to Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Wisconsin for campaign events.
In the latest TIPP poll, Harris maintains a 1 percentage point lead over Trump, with more than half of respondents feeling the economy is worse off than pre-pandemic. In battleground Michigan, Harris and Trump are tied at 47% each, while in North Carolina, a SurveyUSA/WRAL poll shows them deadlocked at 47%. In key swing states Arizona and Nevada, CNN polls conducted by SSRS reveal a tie between the candidates.
As Election Day approaches, the majority of voters plan to cast their ballots in person or drop them off before the deadline. Polling data indicates a statistical tie in some states, highlighting the variability in predicting election outcomes. Given the lessons learned from past elections, there is a recognition that polling methods have evolved to address potential biases. The race for the White House remains tightly contested as both candidates campaign vigorously in the final days leading up to the election.
