NBC Poll Shocks As Trump, Harris Face Brutal Election Stalemate – See Results
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are neck and neck in the latest NBC News national poll, just weeks before Election Day.
Both candidates are tied at 48% support among registered voters, highlighting the razor-thin nature of the 2024 presidential race.
Trump has regained ground after a difficult debate and earlier polling deficit, largely thanks to Republicans rallying behind him and a favorable reassessment of his presidency.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that on the other hand, Harris has seen her summertime boost fade, with voters now more concerned about her ability to bring about change, especially given her connection to the current administration under President Joe Biden.
The poll, conducted from October 4 to 8, shows the race tightening even further when third-party candidates are included. In this expanded ballot, Trump leads slightly with 47%, Harris at 46%, and the remaining 7% supporting other candidates or remaining undecided.
This shift mirrors the growing uncertainty surrounding the election, as a significant number of voters remain undecided, and 10% say they could still change their minds.
A massive gender gap is evident in the poll, with abortion emerging as a critical issue for voters.
Republican pollster Bill McInturff noted that Harris faces “headwinds” as some voters see her as a continuation of Biden’s presidency, while Trump is viewed more favorably in comparison.

Turnout will be key to the final result, as the poll highlights different scenarios. A Republican-favored turnout, with more men, white voters, and those without college degrees, gives Trump a slight lead.
Conversely, higher turnout among women, white voters with college degrees, and voters of color could tip the scale in favor of Harris.
With both candidates locked in a close race, the outcome remains highly uncertain as Election Day approaches.
