Monash experts: Latest polls show US election race is closer than ever

Monash University < 1 mins read

Latest polls ahead of the United States presidential election on 5 November show the gap between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump closing tightly, with the candidates now essentially tied across five key battleground states.

With just two weeks left until polling day, experts are predicting this may be the closest election in recent years and the coming days are crucial for each candidate as they look to shore up support from swing voters.
