Four weeks from today Americans head to the polls for Election Day 2024. By all accounts, it is an extremely close race for president with the result likely to be determined by a handful of states.
A new poll, released by Reuters on Tuesday, Oct. 8, of just over 1,000 registered voters, shows Vice President Kamala Harris with a 46% to 43% lead over former President Donald Trump. However, the poll also has some good news for Trump as respondents view him as stronger than Harris on the economy and immigration.
Real Clear Politics has Harris up by two points nationally, 49% to 47%, with the race boiling down to eight toss-up states. Those states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Minnesota. A total of 103 electoral votes are at stake in those states.
Trump has repeatedly said that Pennsylvania is the key to victory with 19 electoral votes. Harris predicted in Michigan last week that she would win but said it’s going to be tight.
Harris is doing interviews on Tuesday on such shows as “The View.” Trump is planning to head to Pennsylvania for appearances in Scranton and Reading on Wednesday, Oct. 9.
