58% : Meanwhile, Trump leads by between 1.2 and 1.8 points in North Carolina, Arizona and Georgia.
49% : According to 538's tracker, Harris is leading by a slim margin of 0.7 points in Michigan, while she is tied with Trump in Wisconsin.

36% : "However, J. Wesley Leckrone, professor of political science at Widener University, told Newsweek that Harris and Trump should still be focusing on motivating undecided voters to go out to the polls on November 5 amid such a close race.
31% : In this poll, 80 percent of those intending to vote for Trump stated their vote was a vote for him, compared to 20 percent who cited it as a vote against Harris.
