Latest poll shows neck-and-neck race between Harris and Trump as election nears

Recent polling shows a nail-biting presidential race with Kamala Harris holding just a one-point edge over Donald Trump (44-43 percent); the gap between candidates has gotten smaller since early-fall

The nation-wide survey (done last week-end with almost 1000 registered voters) points to some clear voter preferences on key topics: economy unemployment and jobs remain top-of-mind for 26% of people. Trump gets better marks here – with 47% backing his approach versus 37% for Harris

Immigration is another strong-point for the ex-president: his hard-line ideas about mass-deportations got support from 48% of voters while only 33% prefer Harrisʼ stance. Political extremism which used to be Harrisʼ strong suit now shows just a tiny 2-point advantage over her rival (a drop from earlier numbers)

The battle-ground states could be more important than national numbers – just like 8 years ago when Hillary Clinton won more total votes but lost the Electoral College. Both candidates show good voter turn-out potential: about 90% of each partys supporters say theyre definitely going to vote (much higher than last time)

Voter enthusiasm looks strong with 89% of registered dems and 93% of republicans saying theyre completely sure about voting – thats way up from 4 years back. Among likely voters Harris keeps that same tiny one-point lead: 47% to 46%
