US Election: Kamala Harris, Donald Trump locked in tight Presidential race as Americans go for poll today

 WASHINGTON: Americans are voting for the 60th presidential election today, with Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump locked in a tight race.

According to reorts,out of 230 million eligible voters, about 160 million of voters registered.

More than 70 million people have already voted through postal ballots or at early in-person polling stations.

The polling hours will vary across the states, but most locations will vote between 6 am to 8 pm on Tuesday (local time). Though, exit polls will start coming once voting starts, the final results will come only after counting is closed in all states.

The first polls will close at around 7 pm ET (5:30 am IST) in six states including Georgia. The final polls will close in the blue state of Hawaii and in the red state of Alaska at 12 am ET (10:30 am IST). Total votes will close by 1 pm ET (11:30 am IST), following which counting will start. The results in small states can be projected soon after polling states, some key battleground states may take hours in projecting the winner.

 

There are four key issues in this election. The most important is the hip pocket issue: household budgets, cost of living pressures and voters’ concerns about their future economic security. Since Biden and Harris took office nearly four years ago, the cost of groceries, household items, utilities and services such as insurance have risen between 10–40 per cent. Petrol prices have gone up even more. Though interest rates have fallen, American households are hurting.When asked who is best to manage the economy, voters in swing states say Trump by a 15-point margin.

The next biggest issue is immigration. Since Trump first became a presidential candidate in 2015, he has relentlessly pushed the immigration button, declaring the border with Mexico is out of control, with crime and pillage rising in its wake.

The opinion poll showed Vice President Harris with marginal leads in Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin and former President Trump just ahead in Arizona. The two are in close races in Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania, according to the poll, which surveyed 7,879 likely voters in the seven states from October 24 to November 2. In all seven states, the matchups were within the poll's 3.5% margin of error. However, some polls show Trump is leading in swing states.

Most of the polls have predicted a very close race between Trump and Harris, with all the leads projected within the margin of error.
