According to a CNN report, with just days left for the United States elections, 61.0 million Americans have already made their voices heard by casting their ballots in the November elections.
Specifically, for the presidential election between Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat, and former President Donald Trump, a Republican, voters cast their ballots either by mail or through early in-person voting.
Meanwhile, the presidential race is heating up in Georgia and North Carolina, with the latest polls showing a close tie between Harris and Trump, according to new CNN polls conducted by SSRS.
Among likely voters in Georgia, 48 percent voted for Trump and 47 percent for Harris, CNN reports, and in North Carolina, Harris is at 48 percent to Trump’s 47 percent.
These narrow margins are within the poll’s margin of error, indicating no clear candidate in any state.
It is interesting to note that North Carolina, which supported former President Barack Obama in 2008, has voted Republican in the last three presidential elections. However, in 2020 Trump won against US President Joe Biden.
Joe Biden made history four years ago by defeating Donald Trump in Georgia by less than 1 percentage point, becoming the first Democrat to win the state since Bill Clinton won in 1992.
In both states, Georgia and North Carolina, Harris leads among likely black voters (84 percent to 13 percent in Georgia; 78 percent to 19 percent in North Carolina) and voters with college degrees (55 percent to 39 percent). Percentage in Georgia; 53 percent to 42 percent in North Carolina).
On the other hand, white college graduates are evenly split in both states (50 percent Harris to 47 percent Trump in North Carolina, 48 percent Trump to 46 percent Harris in Georgia). Trump maintains a strong lead among white voters without college degrees in Georgia, 81 percent to 15 percent. In North Carolina, he leads that group by a slim margin of 65 percent to 31 percent, CNN reports.
