play

With just two days before Election dayPolls suggest that the race between former president donald trump and Vice President Kamala Harris remains equal.

National polls provide a snapshot of the country as a whole, with most national polls released Sunday suggesting either a tie between the candidates or Harris taking a narrow lead. As the campaigns enter their final hours, both Trump and Harris remain busy: Trump has rallies scheduled in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgiawhile Harris made a Cameo on ‘SNL’ on Saturday night and has planned multiple stops in Michigan.

In a surprising twist, a new Des Moines Record/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows Harris leading Trump in Iowa by three points, a state that previously went for Trump in 2016 and 2020.

Here are the latest polls that suggest where the race is.

Harris leads Trump in Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa poll

The survey of 808 likely Iowa voters, which includes those who have already voted and those who say they definitely plan to vote, was released on Saturday night and directed by Selzer & Co. from Oct. 28-31.

Harris leads Trump by 47% to 44% among likely voters in Iowa, according to the poll, which has a margin of error of ±3.4 points.

This follows a Iowa September Poll which showed Trump with a four-point lead over Harris and a June Iowa Pollwhere he had an 18-point lead over President Joe Biden, who was the presumptive Democratic nominee at the time.

“It’s hard for anyone to say they saw it coming,” pollster J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co, told the Des Moines Register, part of the USA TODAY Network. “She has clearly jumped into a leadership position.”

Things to keep in mind about surveys

The margin of error describes how accurately we can count on the survey results to be representative of the entire population.

When a candidate’s lead is “within” the margin of error, it is considered a “statistical tie,” according to Pew Research Center.

Pew also has found that most pollsters have changed their methods since the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, where Trump’s performance was significantly underestimated.
