Both Trump and Kamala Harris are blitzing the battleground states with just a day to go for the US presidential elections.
The latest opinion polls show Harris leading by 3% over Trump outside the margin of error. Harris was 4% points behind Trump in September but has made lost ground overtaking Trump by a slender margin.
Latest opinion polls show Harris leading in the State of Iowa by 3% points. According to pollsters Pennsylvania with 16 electoral college votes could be the key to the White House. Both Harris & Trump are running neck and neck in Pennsylvania.
The US presidential election is turning out to be a cliffhanger with everything resting on the swing states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin Michigan, Nevada & Georgia with over 60 million voters having already exercised their franchise through post or mail.
It’s not the popular vote that decides the US presidential candidate but the electoral College so the candidate could win the popular vote but still loose the state. Since 1970 electoral college votes have been fixed at 538 and 270 votes guarantee the American presidency
Thus, if Trump had won Wisconsin, Georgia and Arizona the electoral votes would have been tied at 269 each in the 2020 elections. However, Biden went on to win 6 of the seven battleground states by narrow margins sealing Trump’s fate.
In early voting in the battleground states woman voters outpaced men which could be a good sign for Harris as she has been targeting woman voters as part of her defined strategy.
Innuendos, invectives and epithets have become a part of the lingo as pressure mounts on both candidates to win the most coveted post in the world.
