The latest New York Times/Sienna College Poll has confirmed a tight race until the finish for Vice President and Democratic Party nominee Kamala Harris and her opponent former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Americans go to the polls on Tuesday. A separate poll on the race in the Republican leading state of IOWA also surprisingly shows Harris with an edge.

The Times Sienna Poll confirms that this election is basically a dead heat across the battleground states but with slight advantages across the board for Harris, despite being within the margin of error.

Harris leads in Nevada by three; North Carolina by 2, a state that has not favoured a Democratic nominee since 2008; Wisconsin also by 2, by 1 in Georgia while being tied with Trump in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Trump leads by 4 points in Arizona.

The gold standard poll out Saturday from the Des Moines Register and Mediacom shocked the political world overnight by giving Harris a 47 to 44% lead over Trump in IOWA, an outlier from other polling which shows Trump with a commanding lead in that state but if accurate, could be indicative of a broader shift towards Harris.
