That means Trump would win the electoral college if the polling of every swing state is completely accurate — but many of the seven swing states, including crucial Pennsylvania, have margins of less than one percentage point.

Surprising fact

A survey from NBC News published Sept. 29, found that while Harris still leads Trump among Latinos, the lead is shrinking. The NBC News/Telemundo/CNBC poll — which was conducted Sept. 16-23 among 1,000 registered Latino voters — found that 54 percent support Harris, compared to 40 percent who support Trump and 6 percent who they said they were not sure who they would vote for.

A New York Times/Siena POLL of likely voters released on Sept. 19 found that a majority of voters across all demographics gave positive reviews of Harris’ performance in the Sept. 10 debate, with 67 percent overall saying he did well, compared to 40 percent who said the same about Trump. Harris was up 52%-46% among likely voters and 51%-47% among registered voters in a ABC News/Ipsos poll taken days after the Sept. 11-13 debate, virtually unchanged from her six-point lead with likely voters in the end of August and the beginning of August ABC/Ipsos polls — even though 63% of Americans said Harris won the debate.

He approved immediately Harris and she have announced plans to seek the nomination. The party quickly rallied around her, with 99 percent of Democratic delegates voting to officially nominate her in a virtual roll call ahead of the Democratic National Convention in August. Harris named Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as his running mate, weeks after Trump announced Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate. ABC News hosted the first debate between Harris and Trump on September 10 in Philadelphia. Harris’ rise in the polls is coupled with an increase in Democratic enthusiasm for the election, which has almost doubled since Harris entered the race, from 46 percent in June to 85 percent now, while enthusiasm among Republicans has remained stagnant at 71 percent, according to a Monmouth University.
