According to a recent national poll conducted by the New York Times and Siena College, President Donald Trump and Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris are in a virtual tie heading into the final weeks of the election campaign. The survey released on Sunday showed Trump with a one percentage point lead over Harris, well within the poll’s margin of error, indicating that either candidate could win the election on November 5th.
Separate polls also showed a tight race in key swing states, with Harris narrowly leading in Michigan and Wisconsin, and tied in Pennsylvania. The polls highlighted that while voters feel they need to learn more about Harris, their opinions on Trump are largely set.
The upcoming presidential debate on Tuesday could be a crucial moment in the campaign, allowing Harris to give more detail on her policies as she faces off against Trump. With the race being so close, even a slight boost for either candidate could make a significant impact on the outcome.
Despite Harris’s double-digit lead over Trump on the issue of mental and cognitive health, Trump is favored among white, non-college educated voters for his ability to provide economic opportunities for working-class people. The polls also mirror previous ones, showing a razor-thin race in key swing states.
With the election likely to come down to narrow margins, both campaigns are preparing to aggressively raise money and secure votes in order to win in November. The stakes are high as the country heads into the final stretch of the election season.
