U.S. Elections: Harris and Trump in neck-and-neck race in key battleground states
WASHINGTON – Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump remain in a tight race in the country’s seven battleground states two days before the U.S. presidential election, according to the final New York Times/Siena College poll.
The opinion poll showed Vice President Harris with marginal leads in Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, while former President Trump was just ahead in Arizona.
Both candidates are in close races in Michigan, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, according to the poll, which surveyed 7,879 likely voters in the seven states from Oct. 24 to Nov. 2.
In all seven states, the matchups were within the poll’s 3.5% margin of error.
Approximately 40% of respondents reported that they had already voted, with Harris leading among these voters by 8 percentage points. Meanwhile, Trump was ahead among those who indicated they were very likely to vote but had not yet cast their ballots, according to the poll.
The tied race in Pennsylvania shows Trump gaining momentum in a state Harris had previously led in all earlier New York Times polls, the outlet reported.
This weekend, the two candidates are campaigning in battleground states, with Trump set to appear in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia on Sunday, while Harris will campaign in Michigan.
