Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris in just one battleground state, the final Sienna College/New York Times poll show

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are locked in tight as they make the final push to secure an edge ahead of Tuesday's showdown. The GOP nominee is leading in just one swing state- Arizona, according to the final Sienna College/New York Times poll. Meanwhile, the Democratic candidate has a narrow edge in Nevada, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Georgia. As the campaign is down to 48 hours, the 2024 race remains highly uncertain, with both candidates tied in Pennsylvania and Michigan.
