The latest New York Times/Siena College poll indicates that Trump and Harris are tied at 47% support among likely voters nationwide. According to the RealClearPolitics (RCP) polling average, Harris holds a slight 1.9% lead, a margin that has remained stable through September.

In Pennsylvania, the New York Times poll shows Harris leading Trump 50% to 46%, though this result contrasts with other polls. The RCP average gives Harris a narrow 1.0% lead in the state, while Emerson College polling shows Trump ahead by one point at 48% to 47%.

Trump is also shown to be ahead in Georgia (50% to 47%), Arizona, and Wisconsin (49% to 48%), according to the Emerson College survey. In Nevada, the candidates are tied at 48%. Harris holds small leads in North Carolina and Michigan.

The polling trends in these battleground states suggest a competitive race that could be decided by the final state outcomes in key electoral vote counts.
