**Trump Holds Slight Advantage Among Swing-State Voters, Says BTIG**
The US presidential election remains "effectively a toss-up," but Donald Trump's relative strength on key issues gives him a slight edge, according to BTIG analysts. Recent polls show Kamala Harris gaining favor after their recent debate, yet Trump's appeal in swing states remains strong, particularly regarding the economy and immigration.
Both candidates are likely to secure around 200 of the necessary 270 electoral votes, making battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia crucial. BTIG's research indicates Trump leads on economic and immigration issues, though Harris is narrowing the gap on economic topics by emphasizing housing affordability and childcare.
Harris continues to lead on issues like abortion, healthcare, democracy, and senior services, which are also important to swing-state voters. With weeks left before the election, pollsters note that opinions could shift, and the analysts caution that current swing state polls are within the margin of error.
BTIG remains confident that Republicans will gain control of the Senate but advises a cautious approach to their predictions.
