Meanwhile, the election forecast released by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ last weekend showed that Mr. Trump had surpassed Ms. Harris for the first time, with a ratio of 52-48.

However, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ , as of October 22, the Democratic candidate is leading his opponent by 1.2 points, 49% to 47.8%, nationwide.

Equal race in the "battlefields"

In seven battleground states, polls also showed mixed results.

According to the New York Times/Siena Polls poll, Ms. Harris is only leading in Wisconsin, the two candidates have equal support rates in the states of Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan, while former President Trump is leading in Georgia and Arizona.

In another Washington Post/Schar School poll, Vice President Harris is leading in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, while former President Trump is ahead in Arizona and North Carolina. The two candidates are tied in Nevada.

In the final days of the campaign, the two candidates are focusing on the undecided group, which includes about 1.2 million voters in battleground states, according to data from the New York Times .

The majority of these voters are young, black (21% are black), have low education and income, are less interested in politics, are struggling to make a living and are heavily affected by inflation and rising costs of living.

Harris is winning the financial race.

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign and affiliated Democratic political action committees brought in about $633 million in the second quarter of this year, bringing their total fundraising to more than $1 billion.

In September alone, Ms. Harris’s campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state party officials raised more than $359 million.

This money helps the female Vice President maintain a financial advantage over Republican candidate Donald Trump in the final sprint of the election.

Meanwhile, former President Trump's campaign, the Republican National Committee and affiliated political committees reported raising $160 million in September. As of this writing, Trump's re-election effort has raised $283 million.

The figures show that Ms. Harris's total monthly donations far exceed the amount raised by Mr. Trump and the Republican Party since she took over as the Democratic candidate from President Joe Biden in July.

The Democratic Party said 95% of donations to Harris came from contributions of less than $200. About 6 million donors contributed more than $13.1 million, including 4.3 million first-time donors this election cycle, according to the campaign.

Ms. Harris has also received support from major donors such as stars Jessica Alba, Lily Tomlin and Stevie Wonder, officials such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi...
