More than 1.4 million have already voted in the presidential election, as battleground state polls show no clear frontrunner
More than 1.4 million people have now voted in the presidential election, as Kamala Harris and Donald Trump continue to crisscross the country in the final stretch of a neck-and-neck campaign.
Their vice-presidential picks, JD Vance and Tim Walz, also faced off this week in the only vice-presidential debate of this cycle. But initial polls suggested voters saw the debate as a draw, without clear impact on the race.
Harris earned her highest national polling average since July, though the presidential race remains extremely close in battleground states, according to the Guardian’s poll tracker. Harris is leading in five of seven swing states, according to the Guardian’s average of high-quality state polls aggregated by the polling analysis platform 538 over the last 10 days. But overall, both candidates continue to have about even odds of winning.

Testament to Plato’s opinion about democracy and how the masses are incapable of governing themselves as they vote with emotion rather than reason.
Trump WILL end democracy in America.
…and they’ll vote him in anyway.
End of story.
Ask me again why I hate people?
Trump is a greasy former TV host who sweats ketchup and wears diapers.
He pretty much is the personification of America.
hey, I upvoted because I feel you on this, but please don’t ignore the impact of concentrated wealth on society. people have felt removed from us politics for decades. this is by design and results in the usual political grift becoming social poison as politicians from all sides mainline that money speedball. no, both “sides” are not the same, but the differences are far too minimal be be called healthy.
and, yes… people can be selfish, ignorant and prejudiced, but the worst of what we are has been weaponized against us since the first proto human claimed divine inspiration - and yet we persist still.
the 1/10 of 1% believe they can own us all in the end and, whether right or wrong, I want to define who the real monster is here - and its usually not the collective “we” in this potential game over moment.
This guy gets it
He lost in 2020 ant there are a lot more Republicans who are going to vote for Kamala Harris this time.
His attempted fixing of elections are a lot further along this time
Remember Gore had negative votes in some Florida counties
The Guardian’s tracker is based on an average of high quality polls over the last 10 days compiled by 538. As of Friday, the forecasting site said the race was essentially a toss-up, with Harris having a 55% chance of winning and Trump having a 45% chance.
Huh?
Also, I’m a firm believer that liberals don’t answer phone calls from numbers they don’t know and conservatives are the type to send money to Indian call center scammers just because they called.
liberals don’t answer phone calls from numbers they don’t know
Conservatives don’t signal when they are going to vote against their candidate.
Asking pollsters to be mind readers is a bit much, in my book. Besides. How can we count on Conservatives not voting for Trump? In that polling place, with hopes for more Conservative judges, fewer abortions, and more ‘Real America’, the cagey Conservative can vote for the evil without having to own that vote. I’ve met plenty of Conservatives who say, “I don’t like the guy personally, but I do like my 6-3 court, and Liberals want to take that away from me.”
If they vote for us, great! That’ll make a marginal victory into a landslide victory, and might push a marginal loss into a solid victory. But we can’t count on them. We need to do the work to make sure we get past that 50%+1 margin in at least 270 EVs worth of states and not count on other people to do it. I don’t want to wake up Wednesday morning and see that Stein got more votes in the state that we needed to get to 270 than Trump won that state by…
