With fewer than 24 hours until Election Day, TIPP’s latest tracking poll shows Donald Trump and Kamala Harris locked at 48%, a dead heat as both candidates make a last push to sway undecided voters. Significantly, 6% of voters say they may change their minds in these final hours, making each moment critical as the race barrels toward Election Day. The results are from the online survey of 1,411 likely voters from 11/1 to 11/3, with a margin of error of +/- 2.7 points. Pollster Mayur notes that historically, undecided voters break in the final hours to support the challenger rather than the incumbent, which bodes well for Trump. Recognized by The Washington Post in 2020 as the most accurate national presidential poll, TIPP continues to bring you the latest insights on the race.
