The US presidential race is intensifying as Election Day approaches. Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are in a close contest, with recent polls showing Trump leading Harris by a significant margin. According to Polymarket, Trump has a 62.5% chance of winning compared to Harris's 37.5%. The Economist's forecast model also indicates Trump has a 54-in-100 chance of victory, surpassing Harris for the first time since August. Trump’s betting odds have increased following his McDonald’s event in Pennsylvania. Voters remain divided on economic issues, with many unsure whether Trump or Harris is better suited to address the country's economic challenges. Both candidates are focusing on undecided voters, particularly younger, Black, Latino, and white, college-educated women.
