Election polls 2024 live: CNN expert predicts Trump could win popular vote as race with Harris deadlocked

CNN polling guru Harry Enten said in his latest analysis that Donald Trump could win the popular vote. It would be the first time a Republican has done so since 2004.

Everyone has been talking about this idea that Trump may win in the Electoral College, but Kamala Harris may win the popular vote. But Trump may finally get his great white whale.

Fact is Donald Trump is very much in a position he could win the popular vote which is, of course, something he would absolutely love to do.

Democrats heads are exploding watching this right now.

A CNN poll released Friday found that Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris are tied.

The survey shows the two candidates both received 47 percent of likely voters’ support.

It was CNN’s final poll before the November 5 election.

And it’s the second poll released Friday showing the two are tied.

Trump and Harris both received 48 percent of the popular vote, according to the final New York Times and Siena College poll of this election cycle released Friday.

Thousands of suspected fraudulent voter registrations have been found in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania.

The Lancaster County Board of Elections announced Friday that staff members identified approximately 2,500 suspected fraudulent voter registration applications dropped off at the election office.

The Keystone State was also one of the hubs of unfounded voter fraud allegations in 2020.

It took four days to finish counting the ballots to declare President Joe Biden the  winner of the race due to the county requirements in the state.

The Washington Post announced their decision not to endorse a presidential candidate on Friday, for the first time since the 1980s.

William Lewis, the publisher and chief executive officer of The Washington Post detailed the decision, which he argued was a return to the roots of the paper and cited the importance of remaining independent.

‘We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility. That is inevitable. We don’t see it that way,’ he wrote.

The two most powerful congressional Republicans put a rare and scathing joint statement pointedly condemning Kamala Harris for embracing inflammatory rhetoric when describing her political rival Donald Trump.

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell put out a statement slamming the VP for labeling Trump as a ‘fascist.’

The letter began: ‘This summer, after the first attempted assassination of a presidential candidate in more than a century, President Biden insisted that ‘we can’t allow this violence to be normalized.’ In September, after President Trump escaped yet another close call, Vice President Harris acknowledged that ‘we all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence.’’

Then the GOP leaders claim Harris’ words could invite another attempt on Trump’s life.

‘The man who was caught waiting in ambush in Florida left others with a chilling call to arms: ‘It is up to you now to finish the job’. Labeling a political opponent as a ‘fascist,’ risks inviting yet another would-be assassin to try robbing voters of their choice before Election Day.’

‘We have both been briefed on the ongoing and persistent threats to former President Donald Trump by adversaries to the United States, and we call on the Vice President to take these threats seriously, stop escalating the threat environment, and help ensure President Trump has the necessary resources to be protected from those threats,’ the statement concluded.

An advisor to House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik has confirmed that her campaign’ property has been vandalized.

‘On the morning of October 25th, staff working for Chairwoman Elise Stefanik’s re-election campaign were alerted to a dozen signs in Lake Luzerne that had been vandalized. The signs were also covered with a foreign, white substance. Campaign staff immediately reached out to the Warren County Sheriff’s Department to learn whether the substance was hazardous,’ Stefanik advisor Alex DeGrasse, told DailyMail.com.

‘The Sheriff’s Department deemed the substance non-hazardous and the signs were discarded.’

He called the incident ‘yet another unfortunate example of efforts by Far Left Democrats this election cycle.’

DeGrasse claimed Democrat radicals are responsible for thousands of dollars worth of campaign signs in that single district.

About 17 million votes were cast via mail while 15 million voted in person.

So far, from around the country, 64 million mail-in ballots have been requested.

The battleground states have seen some of the heaviest voting action.

Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona have some of the highest early voting rates, which makes sense given the resources both presidential campaigns are pouring in to those areas.

More Democrats have voted early than Republicans, 41% to 36%. And more women than men, 54% to 44%.

Vice President Kamala Harris will sit down for a podcast interview with Brené Brown, an inspirational speaker and writer.

Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston and holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work.

She is famous for speaking about the importance of people becoming comfortable with vulnerability in their life.

‘I believe that you have to walk through vulnerability to get to courage, therefore…embrace the suck. I try to be grateful every day, and my motto right now is “Courage over comfort,’ she writes on her website.

Brown is the host of the podcast ‘Unlocking Us’ which promises ‘conversations that unlock the deeply human part of who we are, so that we can live, love, parent, and lead with a whole heart.’

The Kamala Harris campaign is deploying new audio of former Trump White House Chief of Staff John Kelly in a new ad.

It features Kelly saying his former boss ‘certainly falls into the general definition of a fascist, using the military to go after American citizens.’

The retired Marine general also told the New York Times Trump told him ‘Hitler did some good things too.’ Trump has hit back at Kelly, calling him ‘weak’ and a ‘marshmallow.’

The Harris camp is leaning heavily into the rhetoric on fascism, amid a spate of polls showing the race in a virtual tie with Trump making slight gains in national polls.

A Virginia federal judge ordered that self-identified noncitizens should be allowed back on the commonwealth’s voter rolls after Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin had them removed.

Youngkin is firing back in a statement calling it a commonplace ‘safeguard.’

He said the commonwealth will be appealing the decision to the Supreme Court.

Vice President Kamala Harris met with Phoenix-based chef Rene Andrade to discuss cooking and small businesses.

The campaign released a video of their conversation filmed at Andrade’s Bacanora

‘Oh my God I’m in heaven. I’m speechless. Chef! You’re killing it!’ Harris said after she ate some of the beans that he had prepared.

Harris later had a conversation around the table about the importance of community banks and loans for small businesses like restaurants.

Donald Trump is expected to sit down with podcaster Joe Rogan on Friday in a highly anticipated wide-ranging interview that will take place 11 days before the election. And given the pair’s past incendiary comments about each other, there are bound to be fireworks.

Trump has made the rounds with several prominent podcasters in the final weeks of the campaign, but none as influential as Rogan, who draws over 14 million listeners on Spotify alone and 17.5 million subscribers on YouTube.

Earlier this week, a campaign source confirmed to DailyMail.com that the long-awaited interview is being recorded in Rogan’s Austin, Texas, studio.

Rogan is known for hosting meandering hours-long interviews and probing guests about hot political, cultural and sometimes niche topics – think aliens or taking acid.

The interview taping on Friday is poised to be especially riveting since the pair have a complicated history.

For years, Trump has traded barbs with the popular podcaster, who once called the ex-president a ‘threat to democracy.’

As speculation mounts about what a Kamala Harris political cabinet could look like, Washington politicos are curious: Will she push for a continuation of the Biden administration or will she try to unburden herself from his record and chart a new path of her own?

For her first three years Harris was burdened by Biden’s close-knit staff, who held her at an arm’s length.

If Harris wins, she will have the opportunity to clean house and set her own legacy.

If elected as the first female black president, she will likely embrace the narrative of creating the most diverse and forward looking cabinet, just as she did when she took office as vice president.

Here’s a look at who might be running the country:

Donald Trump is scheduled to film his episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast on Friday.

However, the release date for the highly-anticipated installment is still unclear.

Spotify, which hosts the show, has yet to announce when the episode will air.

Reports indicate there was damage done at Rep. Elise Stefanik’s campaign office.

There was vandalism reported alongside a suspicious white substance at the House Republican Conference Chair’s Queensbury, New York, campaign office.

Her office did not immediately respond.

Since polls first opened in several Florida counties on Monday, over 3 million voters have cast their ballots.

Total early vote counts have tallied to over 28 million people nationwide – by in-person voting or by mail.

The election, which is in just 11 days, is closer than ever.

A new New York Times poll has Trump and Harris tied on 48 percent.

The State Department is honoring Dolly Parton with an award tied to her international and charity work.

The country music legend is the 2024 recipient of the PEACE Through Music Award, the Department announced. The award is given to an American artist who has played an invaluable role in cross-cultural exchanges and whose work advances peace and mutual understanding.

‘I get my personal peace from writing, from singing, from sharing with you,’ Parton said in her acceptance video.

She said she hopes her songs help people find peace, a ‘moment in time when they can be at rest in this world and find some comfort.’

The State Department cited Parton’s Imagination Library, which send books to children around the world, and her ties to developing a COVID-19 vaccine, in addition to her long music career, as the reason for her honor.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, an amateur musician, established the award last year. Quincy Jones was the inaugural recipient.

Parton will be honored at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on Friday night.

According to a new Harris Poll survey, 55% of investors say that the outcome of the election in 11 days is more important than the markets.

It comes as a series of new polls show Donald Trump holding an edge on the economy, an issue that historically drives presidential races.

At a time when voters are still focused on inflation even as it has cooled to 2.4 percent, Americans are concluding that Trump will leave them wealthier and narrowly saying they trust him more on the economy.

Donald Trump is deploying a novel voter turnout pitch at his rallies – telling MAGA wives to goad their husbands into getting their ‘fat a**’ off the couch to do their civic duty.

Trump tried it at his Las Vegas rally Thursday night in a plea for early voting in closely contested state. ‘The polls are open for early voting in Nevada every day from now to November 1. So get your husband – Hank: Get the hell out of the couch, Hank! Get up, get that big fat a** of your – we’re gonna vote for the president. We’re gonna turn our country around, Hank. Come on, let’s go, Hank,’ to cheers from his rally crowd.

Earlier Thursday in Phoenix, it’s was Jimmy who needed a motivational kick in the behind. ‘Jimmy, let’s go. Let’s go. Jimmy, I’m not going to use foul language. Get your fat a** out of the couch. You’re going to vote, Jimmy, You’re going to vote. We’re going to save our country, Jimmy, we’re going to save our country.’

His pitch comes as a new YouGov poll had Trump holding a 55-40 lead among those who say they planned to vote election day, with Harris leading 63-32 among those who planned to vote by mail or absentee.

As the 2024 general election season heats up, Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are in a tight race that could come down to just a few thousand votes in several battleground states.

But with polls calling the race too close to call, maybe even the closest in modern history, there’s a question over whether either major party presidential hopeful will reach the necessary 270 Electoral College votes to win the November 5 election outright.

Each candidate needs to find a path to victory that inevitably winds through crucial – and currently within the polling margin of error swing states.

But even then, there is a scenario where the election results in neither candidate winning the required majority in the Electoral College and could tie 269-269.

So what then? Well, it has happened before – albeit not in 200 years!

Hillary Clinton is comparing Donald Trump‘s upcoming Madison Square Garden rally to the 1939 pro-Nazi event at the same iconic location.

Trump’s 2016 Democratic rival is still out railing against him and warning Americans against giving him another term with just 12 days left until Election Day.

The former Secretary of State said Trump is seeking to ‘reenact’ the Nazi rally that took place in the New York City venue just over six months before the start of World War II.

A campaign source confirmed details of the long-awaited interview being recorded in Rogan’s Austin, Texas, studio to DailyMail.com.

Trump said in an interview last week with the Nelk Boys podcast that he was planning to sit down with Rogan, who boasts millions of followers.

Donald Trump hammered Kamala Harris for her border security and immigration plans in front of thousands in Arizona Thursday, saying she’s made the U.S. a human ‘dumping ground.’

Speaking to brimming Mullett Arena, in Tempe on Thursday the former president sought to make immigration the central theme of his address in the border state.

‘Kamala’s migrant invasion given to us by gross incompetence disqualifies her from even thinking about being president,’ Trump said.

‘We’re like a dumping ground,’ Trump said. ‘We’re like a garbage can for the world.’

Vice President Kamala Harris brought in some of the biggest political and entertainment superstars in the world Thursday night for a rally in Georgia.

But after hours of waiting in line and standing in the sun, hundreds of fans headed for the exit before the Democratic presidential nominee’s remarks.

Harris appeared on stage with former President Obama for the first time in the 2024 campaign season with the rally in the suburbs of the critical swing state.

A win in Georgia is critical for either Harris or Trump on the path to winning what could be one of the closest presidential elections in history on November 5.

After Obama spoke, Harris took the stage, but her usual walk-on song did not play leaving the 60-year-old to enter without the same energy seen at other rallies.

While the vast majority of attendees in the stadium stayed, dozens of people were spotted exiting the bleachers while she spoke.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are locked in a tie in a major new national poll.

Both the Republican and Democrat nominees are on 48 percent in the popular vote, according to the final New York Times and Siena College poll of theis election cycle.

The result is a bad sign for Harris as Democrats have held an edge in the popular vote in recent elections, even when their nominee has lost the Electoral College.

In 2020 Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by 4.4 percent in the popular vote.

Four years ealier, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2.1 percent despite losing the Electoral College.

Harris has also fallen back slightly from the last time the New York Times poll was taken earlier this month, when she had a one point lead.

At this stage before the 2020 election polls showed Biden with a lead of 9 points in the popular vote.

And, at the same stage in 2016, the polls had Clinton leading Trump by six points nationally.

Ultimately, regardless of the popular vote, the election is set to be decided in seven key battleground states where Trump and Harris are also running neck and neck.

Kamala Harris fans walked out of her star-studded rally early on Thursday night with just 11 days until the election and polls showing the tide turning to Donald Trump.

The rivals in the presidential race campaigned in battleground states to make their final pleas to undecided voters in what is shaping up to be one of the closest elections in history.

A record-breaking 29 million people have already cast ballots either in-person early or by mail in a campaign that will go down to the wire.

The vice president is bringing in political powerhouses and celebrities to help her with her closing argument. Beyoncé Knowles is scheduled to perform alongside her in Texas on Friday.
