With the United States of America’s election just hours away, polls indicate the two major candidates are tied, leaving many confused over who will win the election.
The race between Trump and Harris is viewed in many quarters as the closest in American history. The two are separated by no more than a couple of percentage points in the seven key swing states that will decide the contest, with neither campaign having any major lead.
Three websites that aggregate national and state surveys according to Yahoo News — the Silver Bulletin, FiveThirtyEight and the New York Times — currently have the national polling average as follows:
Silver Bulletin
- Harris: 48.5%
- Trump: 47.8%
FiveThirtyEight
- Harris: 47.9%
- Trump: 47.0%
New York Times
- Harris: 49%
- Trump: 48%
All three show Harris with a narrow lead in the popular vote of one percentage point or less — well within the aggregated margins of error.
