In five of the six crucial “toss-up” states, Trump maintains a narrow lead according to polling averages. These states include Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Biden, on the other hand, holds a slight advantage in Michigan.
Despite recent trends favoring Trump in swing states, the margins remain within the polls’ error range, as reported by DDHQ. Interestingly, other pollsters and predictors offer differing perspectives on the race’s outcome.
Politico Playbook highlighted that while DDHQ leans towards Trump, alternative forecasts suggest a potential Biden victory. For instance, Jon Ralston of The Nevada Independent predicts Biden will narrowly win Nevada by a mere 0.3 points.
