Harris and Trump Locked in Tight Presidential Race

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are locked in a tightly contested U.S. presidential race, with polls showing them nearly tied nationally and in key swing states. A Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates Harris leads Trump by a mere 44% to 43%, while Trump has significant advantages on economic issues, a major concern for voters. In Arizona, Trump holds a narrow lead, highlighting immigration and the economy as pivotal factors, whereas Harris leads among Latino voters and those prioritizing democracy and abortion rights. In North Carolina, the race is also a dead heat, influenced by the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and voters' perceptions of governmental response. With only a week remaining before Election Day, both candidates are making strategic campaign stops, emphasizing their differing visions for the country.
