Two candidates sprint, many voters are undecided

(CLO) According to a new HarrisX/Forbes national poll released on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris has a narrow advantage over former President Donald Trump with only 1% - a very fragile gap ahead of the 2024 US Election Day (November 5).

Close pursuit

Specifically, Ms. Harris leads Trump by 49%-48% among potential voters, with 2% supporting independent candidate Cornel West and 1% supporting Jill Stein of the Green Party.

There's still room for the race to change, even with just a few days left: About 10% of likely voters and 16% of all registered voters are still weighing their choices, including 14% of voters in battleground states.

FiveThirtyEight’s National Polls tracker also showed Harris maintaining a national lead of just 1.2 percentage points as of Thursday. However, that lead has gradually diminished and is within the margin of error, suggesting a highly competitive race.

More importantly, the outcome will actually be decided in the battleground states, where the races are also very tight. The key battleground states include Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada.

FiveThirtyEight’s daily poll tracker shows that Ms. Harris’s lead in Michigan remains small, at about 0.8%. However, she has lost her lead in Nevada, where Mr. Trump now leads by 0.3 points.

In Wisconsin, her lead has narrowed to 0.6 points, down from 0.8 points on Wednesday. On the other hand, Trump's advantage in Pennsylvania has increased slightly, up from 0.4 points to 0.7 points.

His lead in North Carolina is back to where it was last week, now at 1.4 points. Trump is also gaining ground in Arizona, where he leads Harris by 2.4 points, and in Georgia, where he leads by 1.8 points.

What are the two candidates doing?

Harris’s campaign focused on what Trump said earlier Thursday at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he said he intended to “protect the women of our country.” “I’m going to do it whether women like it or not,” he said.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Ms Harris denounced the remarks as “offensive”. Ms Harris spoke before starting a day of campaigning in the western battleground states of Arizona and Nevada.

Meanwhile, at his first rally in New Mexico on Thursday, Mr Trump urged the crowd to vote for him, promising to fix the border. The state, with five Electoral College votes, is widely expected to vote for Ms Harris.

“One of the reasons we're going to win this state is because this state has one of the worst border problems, and I'm the only one who can solve that problem,” he said.

In Henderson, Nevada, Mr. Trump accused Ms. Harris of having a lax border policy and promised to implement a mass deportation program if elected. He also called Ms. Harris “terrible, the worst,” while urging his supporters to vote early.

In Nevada, many of his supporters wore janitors' uniforms. The fashion choice came a day after Trump wore a similar outfit to draw attention to President Joe Biden's recent comments that his supporters were "trash."

What will the two candidates do next?

Harris has been in Wisconsin, where she is scheduled to hold an event in the Appleton area, followed by another in Milwaukee. The Milwaukee rally and concert will feature performances from a number of popular singers and bands.

President Joe Biden will travel to Philadelphia and on Saturday to his hometown of Scranton, both in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, where he will aim to energize voters in the crucial state. Meanwhile, Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is also expected to campaign in the battleground state of Michigan.

Donald Trump visited Dearborn, Michigan — home to the largest Arab population in the country — on Friday, where he is scheduled to hold a rally at Macomb Community College in Warren. As the Arab-American vote in Michigan has grown over the years, it has become a key factor in elections.

Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, who served in the state legislature as a Democrat, announced he would not endorse any candidate, instead calling on residents to "vote their conscience."
