Former President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris are vying for the presidency in a race that is heating up as the election nears. Trump claims to be leading in the polls, while Harris urges her supporters to focus on the task ahead rather than poll numbers.
The 2024 presidential election race is reaching its peak intensity as candidates make their final push for votes. Former President Donald Trump has declared that he is "leading in the polls now" in an interview with Fox News. Meanwhile, Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris has cautioned her supporters against paying too much attention to polls, emphasizing the need for hard work in the remaining weeks of the campaign.
Trump's claim of poll leadership comes amidst a flurry of surveys that show a close race. While Harris has a slight edge in national polls, the election is ultimately determined by individual state electoral votes. According to recent Fox News polls, the race in seven key battleground states remains within the margin of error.

Trump's team has expressed confidence in his current poll position, highlighting his past performance of outperforming public opinion surveys. In both 2016 and 2020, Trump trailed in polls at this stage of the race but ultimately emerged victorious. Senior adviser Corey Lewandowski noted that Trump's poll deficit at this point in previous races was significantly larger than his current standings.
Harris, on the other hand, has urged her supporters to maintain focus on the campaign rather than relying on poll numbers. Speaking at a rally in Georgia, she emphasized the importance of hard work, stating that "we have some hard work ahead of us."
