Where the battleground states stand as Election Day dawns

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : Trump leads by 1.3 points in The Hill/DDHQ averages.
55% : Among the more respected pollsters in the closing stretch, Emerson College has Trump up by 1, Atlas Intel has him up by 2 and Siena College has the race tied.
49% : An Emerson College/Nexstar poll gives Harris a 2-point edge, an Atlas Intel poll has Trump up 2 and the New York Times/Siena College poll showed the two candidates tied among likely voters.
45% : No Republican, with the exception of Trump in 2016, has carried any of those states since the 1980s in a presidential election.
43% : On one hand, it is the only one of this year's swing states that Trump carried in 2020, so he would surely fancy his chances again.
43% : The early voting figures, though, show a far more even split between Democratic and Republican voters than was the case four years ago.Is that because of increased GOP enthusiasm writ large or simply because Trump has dropped his earlier resistance to early voting?
42% : Trump has a lead of just half a point in The Hill/DDHQ average.
32% : Harris will be in very serious trouble if she loses the state, and Democratic nerves will be on edge because Trump outperformed his poll numbers here by a significant margin both in 2016 and in 2020.
13% : Georgia was the site of another extremely narrow Biden victory in 2020, and it would be a big blow for Trump if he does not take it back this time.
