With the United States presidential election just a day away on November 5, the race between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump remains highly competitive. The contest has tightened as both candidates crisscross critical battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, with early voting underway. Polls suggest that Harris holds a narrow lead nationally, with a one-point edge of 48 per cent to Trump’s 47 per cent—well within the margin of error.
While Harris holds a slight lead in national polls, the battleground states remain unpredictable. Polls in Iowa, traditionally a pivotal state, indicate that Harris has recently surged ahead, holding a 47 per cent to 44 per cent lead. This uptick is largely driven by female voters, with 56 per cent of women favouring Harris compared to 36 per cent for Trump, sparking concern among Trump’s campaign advisers.
