Among these Pennsylvania is the most important swing state in 2024. Though Harris is performing better than Biden in Pennsylvania, Trump is slightly ahead of the Democrat in the state.

New York Times poll of polls also gives Harris a slight edge of 49 per cent against Trump's 48 per cent, with the Republican leading by 2 per cent in Pennsylvania.

A survey by FiveThirtyEight also showed that Harris has a narrow lead in the national polls.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday, the Vice President is ahead by a single percentage point over the former US President. With 44 per cent against 43 per cent, the poll held over three days has a margin of error of about three percentage points.

The survey covered a sample of 1,150 adults in the US, of whom 975 are registered voters. Respondents who appeared most likely to vote gave Harris a one-point lead over Trump, 47 per cent against 46 per cent.

Among Democrats, 89 per cent said they would certainly vote and 93 per cent of Republicans also showed similar enthusiasm. Compared to this, in an October 2020 Reuters/Ipsos poll, 74 per cent Democrats and 79 per cent Republicans said they would vote certainly. In 2020, a two-third of US voters cast their ballot and that was the highest polling in more than 100 years.

In an earlier poll held from October 16 to 21, Harris had a two-point lead over Trump.
