The swing states will decide the 2024 US election. Surveys show that Trump is doing well in the race here. Should Harris be worried?
Washington, DC – Who will move into the White House after the 2024 US election: Kamala Harris from the Democrats or Donald Trump from the Republicans? Latest surveys from the USA see a neck-and-neck race in the swing states. But Trump has apparently recently made up ground in these crucial states.

Specifically: The average values of the polls in the swing states show that Harris has recently lost votes to Trump almost everywhere; it was only different in Nevada and North Carolina.
