ToplineKamala Harris inched ahead of Donald Trump by the narrowest of margins in both polling guru Nate Silver and FiveThirtyEight’s final presidential forecasts after midnight on Tuesday, although both projections showed the race for the White House a statistical tie on Election Day as poll numbers in key swing states remained deadlocked.

If vice president Kamala Harris wins, she will become the first woman in U.S. history to hold the title of president. If former president Donald Trump wins, he will make a surprising comeback, leading the nation for four more years.

I’m kind of like, more happy than upset,” Mario Alvarez said. “Because Donald Trump is going to help the country with the economy.”

He made one essential bet: that his grievances would become the grievances of the MAGA movement, and then the G.O.P., and then more than half the country. It paid off.

As the election loomed, Trump maintained his lead over Harris in the latest Arizona polls. It's an advantage that data show is driven by a wide gender gap and by voters who hold pessimistic views about the economy, immigration and the direction of the country.

A new series of battleground state polls show Trump and Harris are neck and neck across seven states in the final days before Election Day.

The dizzying presidential contest between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris hurtled toward an uncertain finish on Tuesday as millions of Americans headed to the polls to choose between two sharply different visions for the country.

The polls weren’t off that much in capturing a near-uniform swing in very close states. But they underestimated the Trump vote once again.

Harris and Trump made their final pitches to voters Monday in the same part of Pennsylvania, at roughly the same time, spending the last full day of the presidential campaign in a state that could make or break their chances. Trump held a rally in Pittsburgh and ended his campaign with an event in Grand Rapids, Mich.

The outcome of the race between Harris and Trump remains a true toss-up, according to the most recent polling. Here’s what some of the final polls are saying.
