These results are within the margin of error, highlighting the close race in these key swing states.

Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, has stated that if Trump is re-elected, he plans to leave the country with a new identity, fearing retribution.
On the legislative front, the Senate is set to pass a funding bill to keep the government open until December 20, with Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer emphasizing bipartisan cooperation. Additionally, Secret Service failures in protecting Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania, where an assassination attempt occurred, have drawn criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
Both candidates, Harris and Trump, continue to outline their economic plans, with Harris set to speak in Pittsburgh today. Meanwhile, the upcoming vice-presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz is scheduled for next week. The race remains close with less than two months until the election, emphasizing the importance of these battleground states in determining the outcome.
