The last debate is in the books, early voting has begun in a handful of states, and we are less than five weeks from a presidential election that remains too close to call.
Three different snap polls of debate-watching likely voters found almost identical results, suggesting last night’s CBS News vice presidential debate really was a tossup. The CBS poll gave JD Vance a 42-41% edge, the CNN poll said it was 51-49 for Vance, and Politico’s survey reported a dead heat, split 50-50. So neither side is likely to get any burst of momentum from that debate, leaving us with a month to go and the status quo, a campaign that Kamala Harris leads by 2 to 4 points nationally, but with seven battleground states that really could go either way, meaning the Electoral College is up for grabs.
