The result comes less than two weeks before Election Day, amid millions of Americans' votings.

Trump and Harris remain effectively tied even after three of the most tumultuous months in recent American political history.

While this latest Times/Siena College poll offers a glimpse into national sentiment, the presidential election will be decided in the seven battleground states where Harris and Trump have devoted an overwhelming amount of their time and resources. Most polls in those states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — suggest the contest is equally close.

As of Thursday evening, October 24, more than 30 million voters had already cast their ballots, according to tracking data from the Election Lab at the University of Florida. This has broken early vote records in some states.
