National Polling
According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, Kamala Harris’ campaign continues to lose ground each day. Her average advantage has sunk to just 0.1% – putting the candidates in an effectual dead heat. The two latest polls from NYT/Siena and CNN have Trump and Harris tied on 48% and 47% respectively. Notably, the polls show a major turn when it comes to multi-candidate polling.
With the Green Party’s Jill Stein, independent Cornel West, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (even though he is now supporting Trump), the former president wins five of the last ten polls, draws in one, and loses to Harris in four. As the race enters its final days, pundits and pollsters suspect Donald Trump my take the national lead – something he has neve before achieved.
Battle for the Battlegrounds
The superb RealClearPolitics average of battleground polls grants Donald Trump a lead in all seven states. An average here suggests Trump is now ahead across these subsections by 0.9%. While this is valuable data, it is worth narrowing the lens. Liberty Nation News opted to take the average of only the five most recent surveys. We feel this provides a more up-to-date snapshot of the race as it stands today. Using this rubric:
- Arizona – Trump +1.4%
- Georgia – Trump +1.8%
- Michigan – Harris +0.2%
- Nevada – Trump +0.6%
- North Carolina – Trump +1.2%
- Pennsylvania – Trump +1.2%
- Wisconsin – Tie
Overall, Donald Trump has an average lead of 0.85% over the seven key swing states.
If the election were held today, based on these numbers, Donald Trump would win 287 Electoral College votes, enough to win the presidency – with ten votes still as a toss-up.
