A pair of new surveys released Saturday show the race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is heating up in the final days of the 2024 presidential campaign.
With barely a week left, Trump and Harris were tied at 49% each According to a survey from Emerson College, and 48% respectively According to TIPP Insights.
Both surveys come just a day after New York Times/Siena polling found the race impasse
In the case of both Emerson and the Gray Lady, the results show that there has been a slow decline for Harris over a long period of time.
Emerson in August showed Harris ahead of Trump nationally by 50% to 46%, while an October 8 poll showed Harris beating Trump by three points.
“Ten days before Election Day, the national survey finds a divided electorate,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said in a statement accompanying its most recent findings. “In this survey, independents report voting for Trump by 49% to 46% – a reversal from 2020, where they reported voting for Biden by nearly 10 points.”
“Male voters are breaking for Trump by 13 points, 55% to 42%, which is a bigger difference than 2020,” Kimball said, while women are breaking for Harris by 10 points, 54% to 44%. , which is underperforming Biden in 2020.”
Throughout the race, Trump dominated on the biggest issues of voters’ concern, the economy and immigration, where he regularly finished ahead of Harris.
