<p>Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> has taken the lead in every battleground state, according to polling averages <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/elections/president/2024/battleground-states">calculated</a> by RealClear Polling.</p>
<p>Since Thursday, Trump has been edging out Vice President Kamala Harris in the vital battlegrounds; his overall average lead in the states increased by +0.3 by Saturday.</p>
<p>In Arizona, Trump is performing his best, up by 1.8 points, followed by Georgia (+1.7), North Carolina (+1.0), and Michigan (+0.9). The former president also holds leads in Nevada (+0.8), Pennsylvania (+0.5), and Wisconsin, where the lead is extremely tight, at +0.1.</p>
<p>RealClear Polling <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/arizona/trump-vs-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calculates</a> the average of numerous polls, including The New York Time/Siena College, The Wall Street Journal, The Hill/Emerson, the Trafalgar Group, and others.</p>
<p>RCP’s <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">average</a> for national polls shows Harris ahead 49.2%-47.9% as of Saturday. But the site’s <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/maps/president/2024/toss-up/electoral-college" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Electoral College page</a> shows Trump being favored to win 219 electoral votes, Harris being favored to get 215 electoral votes, and 104 electoral votes labeled as “toss ups.” And with RCP’s <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/maps/president/2024/no-toss-up/electoral-college-state-changes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“No Toss-up” option</a>, Trump leads Harris 312-226 after Wisconsin, Nevada, Michigan, and Pennsylvania started to lean toward the GOP over the past few weeks.</p>
<p>In another positive sign for the Trump team, Democrats down-ballot in states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan are boasting of their ties to Trump, according to a <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/10/18/senate-democrats-campaign-ads-trump-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Axios.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1729077615157000&amp;usg=AOvVaw17Kprl74oE9DYOLREdiBPU">MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28</a></b></p>
<p>Moreover, betting markets have Trump up. Polymarket&#8217;s <a href="https://polymarket.com/elections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">election forecast</a> has Trump up 59.9% to Harris&#8217; 40.1%. The forecast shows Trump up in every battleground state, and topping Harris by double-digit margins in Georgia and Arizona. Harris is favored to win the popular vote, according to Polymarket, up 69% compared to Trump&#8217;s 31%.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/10/18/heres-what-to-know-about-early-voting-as-data-shows-some-bright-spots-for-democrats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Forbes, though, says there are positive signs for VP Harris and Democrats, too. Early voting for black Americans in Michigan, for example, is up 2.6% compared to 2020. While Harris is struggling to capture minority voters like past Democrats, she&#8217;s still predicted to have a significant lead.</p>
<p>Additionally, an estimated 12 million Americans have already <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/early-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cast their ballots</a> in this year&#8217;s election, and according to data from TargetSmart, around 5.68 million Democrats have voted, compared to 4.35 million Republicans. About 2 million voters identified as &#8220;other&#8221; have cast their ballots as well.</p>
<p>Of course, it remains unclear how the trends will continue as we near Election Day.</p>
