Who's winning the presidential election with 2 days to go?

The final stretch in the race to the White House

The 2024 presidential contest speeds into its final weekend with Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump locked in a razor-thin contest. At this late stage in the campaign, every day matters. And while few voters might change their minds this late in a typical election, there is a sense that what happens in these final days could shift votes. LiveNOW from FOX host Jeane Franseen spoke to political journalist. Rich Rubino on the latest.

Vice President Kamala Harris maintains a slight lead nationally in the polls as she and former President Donald Trump zero in on the Sun Belt in their campaigns’ final two days.

Both candidates embarked on one last weekend quest to sway every undecided voter in the battleground states. They pitched rival agendas on the economy — and more — that each insisted is what Americans want. More than 70 million Americans have already voted, according to the University of Florida Election Lab.

"We have overcome every attack, every abuse and even two assassination attempts," Trump said at a rally in Gastonia, North Carolina, outside Charlotte. "And now it all comes down to this."

Later, Trump headed to Virginia, which isn't considered a battleground state, but offered a similar message, telling supporters that there is no way he can lose and is on the cusp of "the greatest political victory in the history of our country."

Harris, meanwhile, has been urging her supporters to vote early so she can be elected and provide the "new generation of leadership" that she argues she represents.

The vice president made a surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live," joining Maya Rudolph’s Harris character in the show’s cold open.

"I am ready to offer that leadership as the next president of the United States of America," Harris said during remarks in a rally at the Atlanta Civic Center parking lot Saturday.

Who’s winning in the polls?

Which swing state will be the most pivotal?

With Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris locked in a dead heat in the race for the White House, political forecasters will be eyeing a clutch of counties across the country for clues on who has the edge once polls start to close on Tuesday evening. Matthew Lebo, professor for the Department of Political Science at University of Western Ontario, joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow to discuss.

According to polling average website 270toWin, Harris was still slightly ahead of Trump Sunday. An average of 21-plus polls showed Harris at 48.3% and Trump at 47.2%. Trump maintained a slight edge in five of the seven swing states, though in Pennsylvania, where the race has remained tied, Trump’s only ahead by 0.1%.

A shocking new Iowa poll by J. Ann Selzer, the "gold standard" pollster in Iowa, shows Harris ahead of Trump by 3 points in the Hawkeye State. Trump won comfortably in Iowa in 2016 and 2020, and Iowa is not considered one of the seven swing states that will decide this year’s election.

The poll is an outlier – an Emerson poll released Saturday showed Trump ahead by 10 points in Iowa – but it does hint that there could be some surprises come Tuesday. Selzer is known for past polls that accurately predicted Trump's 8-point lead in Iowa over Joe Biden in 2020 and his comfortable victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The final New York Times/Siena poll finds Trump and Harris essentially tied. The poll shows Harris making gains in North Carolina and Georgia while Trump makes gains in Pennsylvania and maintains his lead in Arizona.
