Poll Summary
The NPR Marist poll, known for its reliability, now shows Harris winning with 270 electoral votes, even with Nevada and Georgia listed as toss-ups. If Harris holds her position here, this is significant. Another poll by YouGov and the Times has Harris at 276 to Trump's 251, with strong showings in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Key Demographics - Who's Driving Harris's Lead?
The main surprise in this election has been the support Harris is gaining among Independent women and senior women. These two groups are showing up with a clear preference for Harris, a shift that many didn't see coming. Her lead among Independent women is particularly strong, breaking two-to-one in her favor, while senior women, a more unexpected demographic, are showing similar support. This could be pivotal in deciding the election.
Poll Analysis
Some polls lean toward Trump, like Trafalgar and Insider, showing him ahead in key swing states like Arizona and North Carolina. However, these have shown biases in the past. By contrast, other polls consistently show Harris pulling ahead or holding steady in critical states.
