The race for the White House enters it’s final two weeks locked in a statistical tie.
The polling agency that accurately predicted his victory in 2016 says former President Donald Trump now stands a point ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in his second attempt at a second term, though the race for the White House in it’s final two weeks remains locked in a statistical tie.
Trump’s small lead, according to TIPP Insights, is down from a two-point split seen in the polling agency’s last daily tracking poll, but is nevertheless a reversal of fortunes for the former president from when the pollsters first began their countdown-to-November.
“Former President Donald Trump’s support against VP Kamala Harris now enjoys a one-point lead, 48% to 47%, in the TIPP tracking poll,” pollsters wrote.
The first release of the TIPP tracker, on October 14, showed Harris leading the 45th President by three points, just barely outside the poll’s 2.8-point margin of error.
A Suffolk University/USA Today poll found the race all but tied in a contest including third party options — they show Harris has a one-point advantage in a 3.1-point-margin survey — and the director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center David Paleologos, said those third parties may prove to be the only thing that breaks the tie.
