With 25 days left until voters take to the polls, the race between President Donald Trump (R) and Vice President Kamala Harris (D) is close. Both have journeyed to the battleground states, making their case for why the states should vote for them. A new Wall Street Journal (WSJ) poll indicates a strong level of support for both candidates, showing that the presidential race is too close to call.

The new WSJ poll, which surveyed 600 registered voters in each of the battleground states, was conducted between September 28th and October 8th. The poll has a margin of error of +/-4 percentage points, and it discovered that, in a head-to-head contest, President Trump and Vice President Harris are tied in North Carolina and Wisconsin.

President Trump has the biggest lead of any swing stage in Nevada with a lead of 49%-43%, and he similarly leads Vice President Harris in Pennsylvania with 47%-46%.

In contrast, Vice President Harris leads President Trump in Arizona and Georgia with 48%-46%, and she also leads the former president in Michigan with 49%-47%.

Overall, President Trump leads Vice President Harris with 46%-45%. 93% of both Republicans and Democrats across the battleground states indicated their support for their parties’ respective candidate. However, there is a divide among independent voters.

39% of Independent voters said they were siding with President Trump while 40% of Independent voters said they were backing Vice President Kamala Harris.

There is also a divide when it comes to how voters think the candidates would fare with the issues. Voters prefer Vice President Harris when it comes to the issues of abortion, housing affordability, health care and having someone in the White House who cares about the voter. In contrast, voters side with President Trump when it comes to the economy, inflation, immigration, and border security. Moreover, 45% of voters argue that Vice President Harris will stand up better for the American worker while 47% believe that President Trump would be a better candidate for the American worker.
