The 2024 Election season is reaching its crescendo.

The final stretch of campaigning for the presidential election is traditionally marked by Labor Day, leaving only nine weeks until Election Day on Nov. 5.

This month, the election commences in several states, including swing state North Carolina, where mail-in voting starts on Sept. 6. Early voting begins on Sept. 16 in Pennsylvania and Sept. 26 in Michigan, two other vital electoral battlegrounds.

As the clock ticks, former President Donald Trump claims to have gained momentum.

In an interview with Planet Chronicle' Bryan Llenas on Friday, the former president stated that they are currently leading in the polls.

Vice President Kamala Harris is urging her supporters not to rely too heavily on polls, as her campaign is currently viewed as an underdog.

At a rally in Savannah, Georgia, last week, Harris stated that there is tough work to be done following her confrontation with Trump, saying, "We have some hard work ahead of us."

While most recent national polls indicate a slight lead for Harris over Trump, it's important to note that the presidential election is not a national popular vote contest. Instead, it's a battle for individual states and their electoral votes.

The 2024 election outcome in the seven battleground states that decided the 2020 election between Trump and President Biden is likely to be a margin-of-error race, according to the latest surveys. These polls include a batch from Planet Chronicle that made headlines last week.

Since the summer, there has been a significant shift in the political landscape with Biden now in office.

The late June debate between Biden and Trump intensified concerns among Americans about Biden's ability to handle another term in office due to his poor performance. This led to a growing number of calls from top Democrats for Biden to withdraw from the race.

In July, polls showed Trump had a slight advantage over Biden in both national and battleground states.

On July 21, the president abandoned his re-election campaign and backed his vice president, resulting in Democrats unifying behind Harris, who experienced a surge in support in polls and fundraising.

Political analysts and pollsters emphasize that the outcome of the Harris-Trump election is still uncertain.
