New Delhi:

All eyes are on the 2024 US election. Ahead of the Nov. 5 vote, former President Donald Trump is leading the polls, especially in all seven swing states, according to AtlasIntel’s latest survey.

About 49 percent of respondents said they would vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election, the poll showed, as the Republican holds a 1.8 percent lead over his Democratic counterpart Kamala Harris.

The survey, conducted in the first two days of November, included nearly 2,500 likely U.S. voters, mostly women.

As the 2024 presidential election heads into its final days, the focus is on the swing states, the battleground states that are the main deciders of the US presidential election.

Another swing states survey revealed that the Republican candidate is favored to win in all swing states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

In Arizona, Trump holds his largest margin — with a 51.9 percent to 45.1 percent lead over Harris.

In Nevada, when asked who people would vote for in the upcoming presidential election, 51.4 percent of voters chose Trump, while 45.9 percent chose Harris.

In North Carolina, Trump leads with 50.4% of the vote, while Harris gets 46.8% of the vote.

In the US, presidential elections are shaped by three types of states: Red States, Blue States, and Swing States. Red states are those where Republicans have consistently won since 1980, while blue states are where Democrats have dominated since 1992. These states are generally considered predictable in their election results.

In Swing states, the battle between Republicans and Democrats is often extremely close, with the winners prevailing by narrow margins. For example, in the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden won Arizona by just 10,000 votes.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released last week on Oct. 29 showed Kamala Harris ahead of Donald Trump, with the Democrat leading the Republican by a single percentage point, 44 percent to 43 percent.

Interestingly, while Harris has led Trump in every Reuters/Ipsos poll of registered voters since she entered the race in July, her lead has steadily narrowed since late September.
