As the presidential election nears its end, polling shows a close race between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump. Harris has a slight lead in the Tipp and Emerson College Polling surveys released on Friday, with a focus on key battleground states. In New Hampshire, Harris leads Trump by three percentage points in the Emerson poll, with 50% support among likely voters. The top issues for voters in New Hampshire are the economy, housing affordability, and threats to democracy. Harris’ favorability rating is higher than Trump’s in the state, but she is falling behind President Joe Biden’s 2020 support among independent voters.
In the ongoing poll coverage from Tipp, Harris leads Trump by three percentage points, with both candidates fluctuating within a small margin over the past 10 days. Another Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll shows the candidates statistically tied in seven swing states, with Harris barely leading Trump.
Polling data should be considered with caution, as the margin of error indicates the level of accuracy in the survey results. Many pollsters have adjusted their methods since the 2016 and 2020 elections, where Trump’s performance was underestimated. The polls suggest a tight race between Harris and Trump in the final weeks leading up to the election.
