On the tiring date of US presidential election day for the year 2024, the contest keeps on getting so near-even between sitting Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. The latest polls and surveys out this week reveal how high the level of competition between both candidates currently is, with each making his last-minute appeal to the electorate in key swing states. Here’s a comprehensive look at the current state of the race based on the latest polling data and expert analysis.
Harris and Trump are fighting to the wire in the swing states.
A Times/Siena poll taken just a day ago in several key swing states claim that it would be too close to call, with both candidates said to be neck and neck in the survey. This really makes it rather hard to predict the clear winner of the election. It is a really intensive competition, and the swing states are so critical in determining the outcome of this election.
Harris now leads in Iowa
In a surprise turn of events, the newest Iowa Poll from The Des Moines Register shows Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by 3 points. That’s pretty spectacular, given Iowa’s lean toward Republican candidates over the last few election cycles. The dynamic is a surprise, even to pollsters: “It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming,” says J. Ann Selzer, which really puts into perspective how unexpected the shift in voter sentiment in the state is.
Early voting trends favor Harris
According to reports by the Guardian, Kamala Harris has marginal leads over Donald Trump in early voting in a number of decisive states. With less than 48 hours before the polls close, early voting trends could show signs of how things may finally turn out. However, the margins are pretty slim, and the race is still highly competitive .
Dispirited electorate in a tight race
ABC News says it’s a glum electorate as the presidential campaign of 2024 concludes. A new poll by ABC News shows a dead heat between Harris and Trump in a race neither one leads. The finding reflects a broader sense of voter dissatisfaction and uncertainty as Americans head to the polls.
Campaign blitz in swing states
Both are making a last-minute heave in key swing states, with Harris and Trump converging on the Rust Belt for their last day of campaigning.

The race is reportedly too close to call, with both campaigns focusing efforts on mobilizing voters in these crucial states.
Trump reacts to polls
Former President Donald Trump reacts in a fit of anger to the latest set of polling saying he is currently ahead and even called them rigged, especially the Iowa Poll showing Harris in the lead. Trump called the poll “fake” and could not believe the results. The reaction stipulates there’s a lot at stake, tension-stricken elections as both are gunning to win. Independent
