"Other aggregators echo the close race but similarly give Harris a small advantage.

FiveThirtyEight currently projects her with a 50 percent chance of winning, forecasting 270 Electoral College votes for Harris to Trump's 268.

Meanwhile, U.K. newspaper The Economist predicts that Harris will win 276 votes to Trump's 262"a scenario also reflected by forecaster Larry Sabato.

Race to the White House predicts she will win 275 electoral votes.

Her largest win is predicted by CNanalysis, which forecasts that the vice president will win 308 Electoral College votes to Trump's 230, giving Harris a 70 percent of winning."

Too close for comfort.

Let's all breath deep and pray to whatever Gods we believe in.

"GOP Strategist's North Carolina Warning for Trump: 'Something's Going On'

A Republican strategist suggested that Donald Trump's campaign is concerned about his prospects in North Carolina, a key battleground state that he won in the last two elections.

Mike Murphy discussed Trump's recent focus on campaigning in the state on the latest episode of the podcast Hacks on Tap with former Barack Obama adviser David Axelrod.

"I think it is more likely than not that he wins Georgia and North Carolina, but I tell you, I mean I've seen polling from those states in the last 48 hours"he's been in North Carolina like four times over the weekend," Axelrod said.

"Yeah, something's going on there," Murphy responded.

Axelrod noted that if Harris wins either Georgia and North Carolina, it would indicate Trump was "in deep trouble."

I'm not even sure that's the real Donald Trump we've seen on TV with Melania. If it is, he's wearing a lot of plaster on his face.

Still, there's something so different about his appearance that it makes me wonder if his campaign staff was forced to come up with a ringer to finish the last day of the campaign.

Either Harris crushes Trump or we may very well need to establish basic intelligence tests for anybody who wants to vote. You know like the one Trump was so proud he passed.

If I were a younger woman... I would do a shot every time I hear that.

The difference between Hillary and Kamala is Kamala didn't work on the legal team that forced a republicl0wn president to resign... Ms Rodham started bottling cl0wn tears from an early age... she made more enemies.

all the cl0wns have been doing is whining about how Kamala is such an "unknown" this, that, or the other... scraping the bowl for baggage.

Who will win? A normal centrist politician or the world's ugliest sex doll?

Early vote tallies coming in from red districts in Indiana showing a 1-4 point swing to harris over what Biden did in 2020. This means -------- share is shrinking in HEAVY maga areas.

that is an EXCELLENT early sign, ------- is losing areas he needs to increase to have a chance

these are white districts with similar demographics to rural Wi and PA

Trump is looking to win. Sad. Am I surrounded by might-makes-right cavemen?

Regardless of outcome, at this point this isn't aging well.

50/50 or 51/49 is not predicting a win.

Saying that is like saying they predict heads on a coin flip every time.

Who writes these headlines?

"50/50 or 51/49 is not predicting a win."

While some did, the overwhelming majority of them predicted a much larger win. But that's just because of numbers, there are a TON more liberal outlets than there are con, so that's just how math works.

Name them.

Not one of them I've seen said that. The BEST was 53%.

What did the betting pools say?

@#23 ... What did the betting pools say? ...

From what I saw reported on Bloomberg TV, there seemed to be a leaning towards what is called the "Trump trade," i.e., making bets on investments that will provide good returns under a Trump presidency.

Crypto stocks and coins were rising.

Overwhelming majority?

What planet does your current alias live on?

Most of the reports I saw about the outcome were couched in the "margin of error" disclaimer.

Indeed, the polls I have been citing here for the past number of months turned out to be surprisingly correct, MoE taken into account. In spite of the accusations of herding, etc., that was thrown at them.

And, while I'm on the topic, while I disagree with the leaning of the editorial content of the RCP site, imo, their poll reporting is top-notch.

RCP just presents the polling data, without interpretation or opinion.

Let the data.
