In what many are dubbing the most crucial U.S. presidential election in the history of the country, polls, and projections about the winner between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are ongoing.
In its latest forecast, The Economist gave Kamala Harris a slight edge over Trump, with the race between the two presidential candidates marked by razor-thin margins.
The Democratic candidate holds a small lead, with her odds of winning rising from 50% to 56%, marking a six-percentage-point increase for Harris since yesterday, while Trump’s odds have dropped by the same amount.
As the network’s latest outlook forecasts about the Electoral College, Harris is projected to gain 276 electors, surpassing the 270 required for victory, while Trump stands at 262.

Based on the latest poll conducted by The New York Times and Siena College on the U.S. presidential election, Harris leads in North Carolina and Georgia, while Trump is ahead in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, while he also maintains a clear advantage in Arizona.
It has been decades since polling has shown such intense polarization in the U.S., leaving the political landscape uncertain and making the final election outcome difficult to predict.
