3 big things to watch in the final stretch of the 2024 race: From the Politics Desk

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : That means Republicans can clinch the majority by defeating Democrats in one of two red states where Trump has won twice and is favored again: Sen. Jon Tester of Montana and Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio.
48% : Nationally, an average of recent major polls puts Kamala Harris ahead of Trump by 3 points, 49% to 46%.
25% : For that matter, there's also the possibility that this election will bring about an entirely different kind of polling miss -- one that redounds to Harris' advantage, not Trump's.
18% : The catch is that these states were also the source of the most dramatic polling misses in 2020, with Trump faring better in election than polling tended to indicate:Obviously, similar errors this time around would -- at least based on current polling -- tip those Great Lakes battlegrounds into the Trump column.
