The US presidential election is just one day away, and recent polls show that American support is almost equally divided between the candidates. Both teams are confident that they have secured their chances of winning, The Hill reports.
The race remains tense, and neither candidate has a clear advantage. One day before the election, the results remain uncertain and vary depending on the polls.
According to a Gallup poll this week, about 50% of Americans have a positive view of Harris, while Trump has support at 44%. However, Trump’s campaign argues that their rhetoric on key issues such as the economy and immigration is gaining support among voters, which is recognised even by some Republicans who are critical of the former president.
The Republicans also note that they have managed to link Harris to Biden, who remains ‘unpopular’ with a large part of the American electorate, which is a concern for political analysts. In the seven crucial states that will determine the outcome of the election, support for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is almost equal.
The Atlas Intel poll favours Trump, while ABC and Ipsos polls give Harris a slight edge. In Arizona, where the issue of illegal immigration is important, Trump has a 2.9 percentage point lead, according to the latest polls, according to the RealClear website.
Positive news for the Harris campaign came on Saturday, with a Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll in Iowa showing Harris ahead of Trump by three percentage points. One Democratic strategist noted that while Trump had been seen as the candidate with momentum in recent weeks, Harris had a ‘turning point’ in the run-up to the election.
At this point, both campaigns are convinced that they have laid a solid foundation for victory and have good reasons why their candidate should win the support of the electorate.
