Who is winning? What polls say now in Pennsylvania, swing states

play

Election Day is now just eleven days away and swing states have swung in the polls this past week, including the national polls.

Most states consistently vote blue or red, like the 38 states that voted for the same party over and over again between 2000 and 2016, but some lean differently in each election. These are called swing states or battleground states.

Both political campaigns are spending their time, money and energy in the critical battleground states of Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin – where the race is so close that it really could go either way.

Pennsylvania is seen as vital to winning the White House, with both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris hoping to secure the 19 Electoral College votes on election night.

The political climate of recent months has made history and headlines across the country and is likely to impact undecided voters or cause others to reconsider their votes as tension mounts:

  • President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race and fully endorsed Harris
  • Assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, followed by a second attempt that was foiled before the trigger was pulled
  • One of the most watched presidential debates and a resulting vice presidential debate
  • Catastrophic Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton devastated the US mainland
  • The resulting chaos boils over into the Middle East conflict as the war between Ukraine and Russia rages on

So who will be the 47th President of the United States? Will Trump return to the White House with JD Vance at his side or will Harris be our first female president with progressive partner Tim Walz at her side?

We spoke to voters in key swing states that could decide the election

USA TODAY Network reporters talk to voters in seven key swing states that could decide the 2024 presidential election.

How accurate have the election odds or polls been in the past presidential elections?

According to the Conversation, a nonprofit news organization, the gambling favorite has lost just twice since 1866.

The polling track record is more challenging because different pollsters surveying different audiences can often have higher margins of error.

According to Pew Research, confidence in public opinion polls has suffered because of the mistakes in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.

In both general elections, many polls underestimated the appeal of Republican Donald Trump.
