The Breakdown: Harris, Trump in Dead Heat Approaching Election Day

Race Tightens as Biden's Lead Evaporates

Polls show a dead heat between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump as Election Day approaches. A recent poll by ABC News/Washington Post has Harris leading by just 2 points, within the margin of error. This is a significant shift from earlier in the campaign, when Harris held a steady lead of 5-7 points.

Biden's Lead Disappears

The tightening race comes as President Biden's approval ratings have plummeted in recent months. Biden's approval rating is now at 38%, according to a recent poll by FiveThirtyEight. This is down from a high of 57% in January. Biden's low approval ratings are likely due to a number of factors, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, and the rising inflation rate.

Harris and Trump Focus on Key Issues

Harris and Trump have both focused on key issues in the campaign. Harris has campaigned on a platform of economic equality, climate change, and gun control. Trump has campaigned on a platform of tax cuts, immigration restrictions, and law and order.

The Race to the Finish

The race between Harris and Trump is likely to be close until the very end. Both candidates are well-funded and have strong support from their respective bases. The outcome of the election will likely depend on turnout and the ability of Harris or Trump to win over undecided voters.
