Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump nearly tied in national and key swing states, raising questions about why Harris isn’t leading by a wider margin. Despite extensive media coverage, legal actions against Trump, and support from the Democratic Party, Harris has not gained a significant advantage in the race.
Polls indicate tight margins in key states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona, with neither candidate establishing a clear lead. Harris, handed the Democratic nomination after President Biden stepped aside, has not faced the lengthy campaign process that often defines presidential races. Meanwhile, Trump has navigated multiple legal challenges, some of which have seemingly strengthened his position among voters.
The race remains evenly split, surprising many given the political and legal obstacles Trump has faced. As the election draws closer, both candidates are focusing on key battleground states where narrow leads could determine the outcome.
