As the 2024 election approaches, Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are in a tight race, with early voting surpassing 55 million ballots.
National polls indicate a deadlock, but recent data suggests Harris may have a slight advantage in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin, where she leads by 5 and 6 points, respectively.
Pennsylvania remains a crucial battleground, with both candidates tied at 48%, and its 19 electoral votes are vital for a path to victory.
The upcoming election could be one of the closest in decades, with the Electoral College landscape emphasizing the importance of swing states.
Despite the overall tight race, some demographic shifts are emerging. A recent NAACP poll shows a notable increase in support for Harris among Black men under 50, rising from 51% to 59%, while Trump’s support among this group has decreased.
Overall, 73% of Black voters now support Harris, although this is lower than previous elections. The latest HarrisX poll indicates Trump leading by 2 points, suggesting that younger voters may be more divided than previously thought.
While women and non-white voters predominantly back Harris, the gender gap appears less pronounced in this cycle, reflecting a competitive and dynamic electoral landscape.
