Looking towards the swing states, The New York Times said the poll showed Harris making gains in North Carolina and Georgia, while Trump made gains in Pennsylvania and maintained his lead in Arizona.

Polling was essentially tied between the two in three of the swing states: Georgia (Harris, 48%, Trump 47%), Michigan (both at 47%) and Pennsylvania (both at 48%). 

Trump was leading in Arizona by four points, 49% to Harris’ 45%. 

Harris had a two-point lead in both North Carolina and Wisconsin, (48% to 46%, and 49% to 47%, respectively), and a three-point lead in Nevada (49% - 46%). 

Results in all seven states are within the margin of sampling error, meaning neither candidate has a definitive lead in any of them.

It takes 270 electoral votes to win the White House, and these swing states have a collective 93 votes that will ultimately decide who wins.
