Newsweek, October 2024

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are in a dead heat for the popular vote, according to a new poll. The survey by TIPP Insights, which was rated the most accurate pollster by The Washington Post in 2020, found Trump and Harris are tied at 48 percent with just over a week to go until Election Day.

The survey was conducted online among a sample of 1,333 likely voters between October 23 and 25 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points. “Almost all reputable polls show a tied race, especially when the margins of error are taken into account.
