The gender gap continues to be massive this election. Harris is winning women by 16 percentage points in battleground states while Trump wins men by the same margin. For the first time, abortion is the most important issue for women in deciding their vote. For men, the economy is the top concern.

Harris is winning young voters by 17 percentage points in battleground states. That is a substantial improvement over Joe Biden’s standing with young voters earlier this year. But Harris still slightly lags Biden’s 2020 numbers with young voters, many of whom are struggling to decide up until the end.

There are still voters to be persuaded, even at this late hour in the race. The poll shows that 11 percent of voters remained undecided, down from 16 percent about a month ago.

The poll finds that in some states nearly half of voters have already voted. Harris is winning those voters in six of the seven states, while Trump is winning them in Arizona.

All eyes are on Pennsylvania, where Trump and Harris are deadlocked. The last three Times/Siena polls had Harris +4 in the state, suggesting the race has narrowed significantly in the state that might be key to victory for either candidate.

Harris has a slight edge over Trump in Georgia. Her campaign has invested millions in the state in the hopes of building on Biden’s narrow 2020 win in the state. Harris rallied thousands near downtown Atlanta yesterday.

Harris and Trump are deadlocked in Michigan, a crucial battleground state that Biden won in 2020 and Trump won in 2016. Harris is campaigning in Michigan today, while Trump has a rally scheduled in Grand Rapids tomorrow night.

Harris is narrowly ahead of Trump in Nevada. Democrats have been anxiously analyzing early voting patterns in the state and are now relying on a heavy turnout in Clark County, home to Las Vegas and the majority of the state’s Democrats.

The final batch of public polls has set off a round of late second-guessing among some Trump allies. But Trump’s core team remains convinced that these public polls are underestimating his support and that he is on track to win.
