US presidential election
Who will be the new president of the United States, Kamala Harris or Donald Trump? This Tuesday, November 5, the 244 million American voters are called to decide between the two contenders for the White House, at the end of a vote that is as secure as it is undecided. Because the results, expected during the night of Tuesday to Wednesday November 6 and to be followed live on LCI and TF1+ (new window) and live on TF1info, promise to be particularly tight.
Ever tighter in key states
According to the latest polls – unlike France, there is no reserve period limiting their publication – Kamala Harris maintains a slight lead nationally. The vice-president of the United States would collect 48% of the vote, against 46.8% for Donald Trump, according to the aggregation of the latest polls carried out by FiveThirtyEight for the American media ABC News. A popular vote favorable to the Democrat, which does not always mean a final victory: in 2016, Hillary Clinton obtained three million more votes than Donald Trump, but it was the Republican who gained the White House.
Because the future of the United States is mainly played out in the “swing states”, seven key states which should determine the winner. And which could be played out in a pocket handkerchief. Just before the opening of the polling stations, the pollsters were unable to clearly decide between the two candidates. Donald Trump is given the victory in the Nevada (47.7%-47.5%), the North Carolina (48.3%-47.4%), the Georgia (48.2%-47.5%) andArizona (48.9%-46.8%), but with smaller gaps than the day before, while Kamala Harris is ahead of the Wisconsin (48.3%-47.3%) and the Michigan (48%-47%), and returned to the lead in Pennsylvania (47,9%-47,7%).
