Harris edges Trump in tight Nevada race as polls tighten

Representatives of both candidates express confidence three days before the presidential elections in the United States. Democrats believe in the voting power of women and a well-organised election machine. At the same time, Republicans rely on the resonance of the immigration issue and the missteps made by their opponents.

Meanwhile, the results of a new poll have been released. The survey was conducted in one of the key states, Nevada.

According to the new Emerson College Polling/RealClearWorld survey, 48 percent of people support Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential elections, while 47 percent support former president Donald Trump.

Two per cent are undecided, and one per cent do not plan to vote for either candidate.

After accounting for the choices of undecided individuals, overall support for Harris increases to 49 per cent, and for Trump to 48 per cent.

"Men and women in Nevada are heading in almost opposite directions," said Spencer Kimball, Executive Director of Emerson College Polling.

It turns out that among men, 52 per cent support the Republican candidate, while 43 per cent support the Democratic candidate. Among women, the situation is reversed. 52 per cent of them declare they will vote for Kamala Harris, while 44 per cent will vote for Donald Trump.

The poll also asked residents what guides them in choosing a president. For 40 percent of Nevada voters, the economy is the most important issue, followed by housing affordability (13 percent), immigration (12 percent), threats to democracy (9 percent), and education (9 percent).

Interestingly, just over half—54 per cent—disapprove of the job Joe Biden is doing as president, while 36 per cent are satisfied.
