Trump holds a slight edge over Harris among early voters in swing states, signaling a promising outlook for Republicans, citing The Hill.

Specifically, a poll by the Harvard Center for American Political Studies (Harvard CAPS/Harris) revealed that 48% of early voters in swing states have chosen Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, while 47% backed his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris. Another 5% of respondents indicated they either chose another option or had not yet voted.

The survey also showed that among all voters in swing states (presumably those who have voted), 48% supported Trump, compared to 46% for Harris.

However, the vice president has pulled ahead by 8% among early voters nationwide, receiving 51% of the vote compared to Trump's 43%.

In total, 45% of voters reported they would vote early, while 50% said they plan to vote in person on Election Day, November 5.

According to The Hill, a small group of swing states will play a decisive role in determining the winner this fall.

Additionally, the poll indicated that the candidates are in a tight race in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and other key battlegrounds, as both campaigns continue to rally and hold campaign stops in these crucial states.

On a national level, according to a collection of polls compiled by The Hill/Decision HQ, Harris leads the former president by 3%, with roughly 50% support compared to Trump's 47%. A new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll shows an even tighter race, with Harris ahead of the Republican by just 1% among registered voters.

The report clarified that the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, conducted from October 11-13, surveyed 3,145 registered voters, including 2,596 likely voters and 898 voters from swing states. The margin of error for the entire sample was ±1.8%.

RBC-Ukraine recently reported that tensions have been growing between Vice President Kamala Harris's team and the Biden White House, a situation that has escalated in the final weeks before Election Day.
