A recent series of polls released on Sunday revealed a close competition between former President Trump and Vice President Harris in seven key battleground states, just days before Election Day.

The polls conducted by The New York Times/Siena College among likely voters indicate a dead heat between Trump and Harris in Pennsylvania and Michigan. In Arizona, Trump holds a slight lead over Harris at 49-45%, while Harris is ahead in Nevada by 49-46%, Wisconsin by 49-47%, North Carolina by 48-46%, and Georgia by 48-47%.

Over 7,800 likely voters were surveyed across these states from October 24 to November 2, with a margin of error of 3.5%. Notably, 8% of voters who recently made their decision favor Harris over Trump by 55% to 44%. Additionally, 11% of voters remain undecided or open to persuasion, a decrease from 16% a month ago.
