Recent polls indicate a highly competitive race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump as the 2024 presidential election approaches. According to a Wall Street Journal poll of swing-state voters, both candidates are tied at 48% in seven battleground states. NBC News also reports a deadlock at 48% each, a significant shift from Harris's previous 5-point lead. ABC News and CBS News show Harris with a narrow lead of 50% to 48% and 51% to 48%, respectively. The tight contest underscores the polarized electorate, with voters divided on key issues and the direction of the country. The NBC poll notes that Harris's lead is within the survey's margin of error.
