US elections 2024: Who is ahead in final national polls- Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?

Story highlights US elections 2024: It’s a race that remains extremely unpredictable even as the Nov 5 D-Day looms! Most of the polls appearing in US media predict a statistically tied matchup, even in key swing states. This article mentions seven recent polls released on Sunday (Nov 3) and Monday in the US, to give you a bird’s eye view of the situation on the ground as well as the direction in which the presidential polls seem to be heading.”Vice President Kamala Harris is the Democratic candidate in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election, with the goal of making history as the first woman and the first person of Indian descent to become President of the United States.

On the Republican side, Donald Trump, the former President, is seeking a historic comeback to the White House after his contentious loss in 2020. If Trump wins, it would mark the first time in over a century that a president has served two non-consecutive terms.

In the 2016 election, Trump won the presidency by securing 304 electoral votes to 227 against Hillary Clinton, even though he trailed Clinton by more than 2 percentage points and about 2.8 million votes in the popular vote.

However, in the 2020 election, Trump was defeated by Joe Biden, who won with 306 electoral votes to 232 and led Trump by over 700,000 votes in the popular vote. Trump has continued to deny the 2020 election results, claiming widespread voter fraud, a stance that sparked protests by his supporters and culminated in the January 6 Capitol Riots.
