Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris are engaged in an extremely close contest for pivotal swing states that could determine the outcome of the Electoral College, according to recent polls conducted by UMass Lowell / YouGov.
In the closing days of the election, battleground states such as North Carolina, Michigan, and New Hampshire remain fiercely competitive as both candidates make their final appeals to voters in anticipation of November 5. Polling data not only from these swing states but also nationwide continues to indicate a highly competitive race for the presidency.
As this closely watched race nears its conclusion in five days, both Trump and Harris are scheduled to address their supporters on Thursday in Nevada, another crucial swing state.
