Two new national polls reveal that the 2024 presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is razor-thin, even as most voters express dissatisfaction with their choices.

An ABC News/Ipsos poll voters conducted from Oct. 29 to Nov. 1 shows Harris with a slight edge, leading Trump 49% to 46%, within the poll’s 2% margin of error. Despite this narrow lead, a striking 74% of respondents believe the country is on the “wrong track,” with 50% of Harris supporters and 98% of Trump supporters expressing this sentiment. Additionally, 60% of voters say they are unhappy with the current slate of candidates. The poll also revealed economic concerns, with 42% saying their personal finances have worsened under the Biden-Harris administration.

Meanwhile, a separate NBC News poll conducted from Oct. 30 to Nov. 2 shows Trump and Harris tied at 49%. This survey, which has a margin of error of 3.1%, highlights stark demographic divides. Harris holds substantial leads among Black voters (87%-9%), voters under 30 (57%-41%), and White college-educated voters (55%-43%). Trump, on the other hand, commands strong support among rural voters (75%-23%), White voters overall (56%-42%), and White voters without college degrees (64%-34%). The gender gap is also significant, with women favoring Harris 57%-41% and men backing Trump 58%-40%.

Notably, 60% of respondents in the NBC poll believe that the U.S. will remain divided, regardless of who wins on Election Day.
