While a shock poll out of Iowa conducted by the highly regarded Selzer & Company found Vice President Kamala Harris actually winning by three points in the Hawkeye State, and seemed to forecast the potential for a landslide Harris victory, most final polling done ahead of Tuesday’s General Election found the Democratic candidate running even with former President Donald Trump.
Nationwide polls remain locked within their margins of error as former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris race through the final 48 hours before Election Day, trying to scramble every last vote to potentially decide the race.
While a shock poll out of Iowa conducted by the highly regarded Selzer & Company found Vice President Kamala Harris actually winning by three points in the Hawkeye State, and seemed to forecast the potential for a Harris victory or at least point to an advantage other pollsters are missing, an Emerson College poll in Iowa released Saturday found Trump up by 10.
Emerson College’s last national survey of likely voters found “former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris with 49% support each among US voters. One percent support a third-party candidate and one percent are undecided.”
TIPP’s daily tracking poll has shown Harris stalled at 48% support for the last nine days, with Trump dancing both above and below that line throughout. Their survey released Sunday shows the former President is now “holding a narrow 49% – 48% lead” but that there is plenty of room for either candidate to convince voters to make a choice.
“This late surge highlights stark divides across demographics like age, education, race, and region, pinpointing where both campaigns are doubling down in these final hours. Significantly, 6% of voters report they could still change their minds, underscoring how every moment could prove decisive as the race barrels toward Election Day,” TIPP wrote.
An ABC/Ipsos poll found the end of the election marked by a “dispirited electorate,” a majority of whom feel the country is headed in the wrong direction and aren’t pleased with their choice of presidential candidates, but who nevertheless stand narrowly divided over which they might choose.
