Sep 6, 2024, 10:28 AM

Recent polls indicate a tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. According to an Emerson College poll, Harris leads Trump nationally by 2 points, with 49% to Trump's 47%. Harris also holds a narrow lead in several key swing states, although Trump dominates her on economic issues in these regions, according to a CNN poll. In specific states, Trump leads Harris by 5 points in Florida and 7 points in Ohio, while Harris is ahead in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Harris has a significant 27-point lead among Latino voters, but her overall lead has decreased from previous polls, including a Siena College poll. Additionally, Harris leads among Americans under 45. Both candidates show varying strengths across different states, making the outcome highly uncertain. A McLaughlin & Associates poll also shows Trump leading Harris by 2 points among likely voters.
