In Pennsylvania, a tight race is seen between Trump and Harris, according to polls.
Harris' debate performance did not significantly affect her chances of winning the election, according to pollsters.
A new poll indicates that former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are in a stalemate in Pennsylvania, a crucial state for both contenders.
Among likely and registered voters, 48% of them support Harris, while Trump has 47% support, according to a Thursday poll by the Washington Post.
While a New York Times poll showed Harris with a slight edge, nationally, the Times' poll had Harris and Trump tied at 47%.
After the presidential debate last week, polls were conducted and most viewers believed Harris performed better.
Despite the Times reporting that the debate did not significantly affect voters' choices, regardless of their initial support.
Although Vice President Harris gave a strong debate performance, she did not gain much ground compared to our previous polls of the nation and Pennsylvania. Despite evidence from the poll that respondents thought she did well in the debate and that Mr. Trump did poorly, it has not resulted in a significant change.
A Planet Chronicle national survey released Wednesday showed that Harris was leading Trump by one point in a national poll, a three-point change from mid-August when Trump led Harris by one point.
In Pennsylvania, Trump continues to lead on the economy and immigration, while Harris leads on defending democracy and abortion.
A Marist poll released on Thursday showed Trump and Harris in a tie at 49% in Pennsylvania.
"According to Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, Pennsylvania is the most competitive and valuable state in the Rust Belt region for presidential candidates. Winning Pennsylvania may not guarantee the White House, but it significantly increases the chances of victory."
According to the most recent Planet Chronicle Power Rankings, the close polls indicate that Trump may be losing his grip in two crucial states, North Carolina and Georgia, which were once considered Republican strongholds, are now considered toss-ups in the presidential race.
