The 2024 election: Polls and Predictions
With voting for the 2024 presidential election coming to an end, here are some updates on voter polls and predictions on who is likely to secure the next executive term.
As of November 5th, the current national polls show Harris leading at 48%, with a 1.2% lead over Trump’s 46.8%. However, it is important to note that the election is determined by the electoral college. Either candidate needs 270 electoral votes in order to be elected president, which are not known until votes are counted and finalized.
The win will likely come down to the seven swing states which are Pennsyvalnia, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan. It may take several days for results to be known.
