Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are battling in swing states – and elsewhere – for the White House at the top of the ticket. Also hanging in the balance, control of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, along with state and local issues.
Most pollsters have reported the presidential race remains a toss-up.
Polling guru Nate Silver said his election model shows Trump in the lead. In Silver’s election model, Harris’ winning odds are 46.2% and Trump’s are 53.4%.
“That’s very close to a coin flip, in other words,” Silver wrote on Thursday. “While Trump made meaningful gains in our forecast in mid-October, we don’t think there’s much sign that the race is continuing to drift toward him in the final week and the seven most important swing states remain incredibly close.”
