On Tuesday, the highly anticipated face-off between Trump and Harris unfolds, capturing the attention of the nation as swing states hold the key to determining the outcome of the closely contested election.
In one of its most closely contested and highly competitive Presidential Elections to date, the United States finds itself witnessing a neck-and-neck battle for the White House between Republican contender and former President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Amidst bated breath and heightened anticipation, the closely contested election has captured the attention of not just the nation, but also the global audience. The world watches intently as pivotal states such as Iowa, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina hold the key to determining the next occupant of the Oval Office, the 47th President of the United States.
In the polls, how tight is the race between Harris and Trump?
The states of North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania in the United States are often categorized as swing states due to their unpredictable nature, with election outcomes capable of swinging either way. Consequently, presidential contenders devote substantial focus to these swing states since emerging victorious in them could ultimately determine the occupant of the White House for the subsequent four years.
The competition is fierce in the swing states, with multiple US polls indicating Harris edging out Trump by slim leads. One poll by HarrisX/Forbes reveals a 49% support for Harris against Trump’s 48%, while a PBS News/NPR/Marist survey places her at 51% compared to Trump’s 47%. On the other hand, polls from NBC News and Emerson College suggest a dead heat with both candidates tied at 49%.
