Latest news on the Harris and Trump election polls

Two weeks until election day.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are spending the final stretch of the 2024 election courting voters across the country. Harris campaigned Monday with former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, who has become one of Trump's most vocal critics.

The former president held several events in North Carolina, a crucial swing state that could decide the race for the White House. Trump is holding another rally in Greensboro, North Carolina on Tuesday evening.

Donald Trump, who is leading the polls among male voters, invoked the masculinity of a golf legend over the weekend, peppering his speeches with profanities and attending an NFL game to ensure he retains this key constituency.

It's a strategy designed to further excite the Republican presidential candidate's most ardent supporters and emphasize turnout among low-propensity male voters, in a hypermasculine style that his critics see as a corrosive version of denote masculinity.

Meanwhile, he barely nods to — and perhaps angers — the swing voters of suburban women who were once considered key campaign targets.

Donald Trump has vowed to initiate a “mass deportation” of at least 11 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States if he returns to the White House.

He made a similar promise during his first term. It didn't work out after he ran into logistical and legal obstacles. Next time, experts say, everything could be different.

A new USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll found that 45% of respondents support Trump's mass deportation proposal and 49% oppose it, with 4% undecided. The poll of 1,000 likely voters, conducted on landlines and cellphones Oct. 14-18, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

A second, more experienced Trump administration will know “how to effectively use enormous bureaucracy to its advantage,” said César García Hernández, a law professor at Ohio State University and author of “Migrating to Prison: America's Obsession with Locking Up Immigrants.” .

Where are Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in the polls?

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are tied in the presidential election polls. The Real Clear Politics average of 2024 polls puts Harris ahead of Trump by just 0.9 percentage points.

In some of the key swing states like Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania, it's even closer. For example, in the Wisconsin polling average, Trump leads Harris by 0.2 percentage points.

When can you vote for president?

There are several ways to vote in the general election. Depending on where you live, you can vote early by mail or in person. You can also wait until you go to a polling place on November 5, Election Day, to cast your vote.

USA TODAY provides a breakdown of when early voting has begun or will begin in states. The first state in the country to begin voting was Alabama, which sent out mail-in ballots on September 11th. Alabama does not have early in-person voting options.

Seven states are expected to open early in-person or in-person early voting options on Monday, including Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, South Carolina and Texas.
