As Election Day approaches, recent polling data reveals that former President Trump is once again stirring the political pot and leading in multiple national surveys. In fact, the latest numbers from RealClearPolitics show Trump sitting comfortably in the driver’s seat, with his support climbing at an impressive clip. With just over a week left before the election, he appears to be gaining momentum when others would have thrown in the towel.
It’s worth noting that the political landscape changed dramatically following Kamala Harris’s ascension, which some might argue was less a matter of democratic process and more of a palace coup. Once her rise was fanned by the flames of endless corporate media coverage, many seemed to write off Trump’s chances at winning the popular vote. This came to an abrupt halt as polling data began to mirror economic realities. Kamala, once projected to leave Trump in the dust, has seen her lead dwindle to a minuscule 0.2 points, a stark contrast from her earlier dominance.
The recent trend doesn’t just end there. Over a mere 20 days, Harris has receded in support from 49.1 to 48.7 percent, while Trump surged from 46.9 to 48.5 percent. These shifts reveal the stark reality that voters may be reconsidering their options, and as polls from the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, and others suggest, Trump is consistently leading by margins of at least two points in several surveys. For those who believed the anti-Trump sentiment was an insurmountable mountain, these numbers should serve as a wake-up call.

Looking ahead to the swing states, where the battle for votes will be most crucial, it seems Trump is already holding court. He leads in all seven swing states based on the RCP average, with room to grow. For those observers, a minor lead foreshadows a potentially larger victory as swing state voters traditionally mirror their sentiments seen in national polling.
For those who reside in critical states like North Carolina, the act of early voting cannot be understated. Those who think their presence at the polls later doesn’t alter the course of the race might want to think twice. Early voting enables the Trump campaign to mark you down as a definitive yes, giving them the freedom to focus their resources on less engaged voters who might need a little extra encouragement. It’s not just about filling a space on a ballot; it’s about strategically playing the game to ensure every vote counts, especially when lives could be lost in unfortunate accidents before Election Day arrives.
