Republican Donald Trump has pulled into a virtual tie with Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the final poll commissioned by The Post ahead of Tuesday’s election — erasing a four-percentage point deficit as the race entered October.
The survey by Leger found Trump, 78, and Harris, 60, each receiving 49% support among likely voters, with the remaining 2% saying they would back another candidate.
Harris has lost two points of support from the Oct. 1 Leger poll for The Post, which showed her leading the 45th president 51% to 47% among likely voters.
The narrow margin suggests a victory for Trump in the all-important Electoral College. In 2016, the Republican nominee defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton despite losing the popular vote by 2.1 percentage points — and most polls indicate an even closer race in the raw vote total this time around
While most polls have shown a gender gap in the race between Trump and Harris, the Leger survey shows a wide age difference in support of the two major party nominees.
Among voters 18-34, Harris leads Trump by 20 percentage points (59%-39%), while Trump leads by 14 (56%-42%) among those 55 and older, who tend to make up a larger slice of the electorate.
Trump leads Harris by five percentage points among men (51%-46%), while Harris has a seven-point edge among women (53%-46%).
Both candidates will end their campaigns underwater with the American public in terms of favorability, though Trump’s net unfavorability rating of negative-3 (45% favorable, 48% unfavorable) is by far the best of his three runs for the White House. In 2020, the Republican nominee’s favorability was negative-12 and was negative-27 four years earlier in 2016.
Harris has a net favorability of negative-1 (43% favorable, 44% unfavorable), with a surprising 13% saying they either were unsure what they thought of the vice president or didn’t know enough to give her a rating.
Trump also benefits by comparison with his successor, President Biden. Nearly half of respondents (48%) said the 45th president’s term of office was better for them personally, while just 37% said they were better off under Biden’s presidency.However, Trump’s advantage over Harris on the issue of the economy has narrowed, with 45% saying the Republican nominee had laid out the clearest plan on the issue and 42% saying Harris had.
Respondents were deadlocked on the question of which candidate is most likely to improve Americans’ quality of life, with 44% saying Trump and 44% saying Harris.1K
When asked to give two reasons why they were supporting Trump, 58% of Republican voters said they were doing so because Americans were better off under the former president. Three in ten GOP voters said they were voting Trump because they thought he would be best for reviving the economy and just over a quarter (26%) said they were doing so because they wanted him to prevent more illegal immigrants from entering the US and deport those already here illegally.
The Leger poll conducted for The Post surveyed 1,044 Americans online Oct. 31-Nov. 3, including 950 likely voters. The margin of error is plus-or-minus three percentage points.
P’nut the Squirrel, of internet fame, has been euthanized after the pet was seized by New York state earlier this week, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation.
The seven-year-old gray rescue squirrel, commonly referred to as “P’Nut” on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, was put to death, along with Fred the raccoon, so that the animals could be tested for the presence of rabies, according to a statement from the agency obtained by WETM.
P’nut the Squirrel, 7, was put to death by the state of New York after being confiscated due to rabies concerns, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation.AP
P’nut’s guardian Mark Longo took to Instagram to memorialize his beloved pet in a video.
Through tears Longo, with his girlfriend at his side, said, “P’nut was the best thing that ever happened to us.”
Role reversal: Trump stumps for Arab votes, Bill Clinton speaks truth to state with large Arab pop.
Michigan is a critical swing state, one that Trump won by 10,000 votes in 2016 but lost by 150,000 in 2024. The Arab and Muslim vote is critical, but so is the Jewish vote.

Even in a US election campaign full of surprises – remember President Joe Biden bowing out mid-campaign in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris – last week’s role reversals in Michigan had some observers scratching their heads.
One of those head-scratching moments was when former president Donald Trump showed up on Friday for a campaign stop in Dearborn, Michigan, the largest Arab-majority city in America in a state with an estimated 200,000 Arab voters.
Why was this a head-scratching moment? It is one thing for Trump to go to the grave of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, as he did in October, and make a play for Jewish voters, even though he knows that historically, Jewish voters have favored his opponents by wide margins and vote heavily for Democrats.
But there was still a certain logic to it: after all, he is unapologetically pro-Israel, and when he was president, he took a number of extremely significant steps that helped Israel.
So even though there is little chance to win over the majority of Jewish voters, there is logic in Trump trying to win over a certain percentage in certain key states – like Pennsylvania and Georgia – to make a difference in a close election.

But Arab voters? Muslims? Voters who said they won’t vote for Kamala Harris because the Biden administration has been too pro-Israel? Those folks are now going to vote for Trump, a man who, when president, banned immigration from several majority-Muslim countries, said he would bar entry to refugees from Gaza, and has criticized Biden for not being supportive enough of Israel?
Apparently, judging from that Dearborn stop, Trump thinks so, and he has enlisted his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law, Lebanese American businessman Massad Boulos, to help make it so. That explains why, in the waning days of the election, he found time to go to Dearborn to try to win over some of those votes.
Michigan is a critical swing state, one that Trump won by 10,000 votes in 2016 but lost by 150,000 votes to Biden four years later. The Arab and Muslim vote is critical in the state, but so is the Jewish vote, with the Jewish Electorate Institute saying there are 160,000 eligible Jewish voters in the state.
What was as surprising for some as Trump’s whistle-stop in Dearborn was a speech former president Bill Clinton, a Kamala Harris surrogate, gave two days earlier at a church in Muskegon Heights, Michigan, a three-hour drive away.
What was surprising, or rather, counterintuitive, was that in the heart of Michigan, with both candidates chasing after the Arab and Muslim vote, Clinton gave a vigorous defense of Israel’s war in Gaza.
What was striking about Bill Clinton’s speech?
Two things were striking about Clinton’s nine-minute discussion about Israel in the speech that went viral among Jews and pro-Israel supporters and triggered angry blowback by anti-Israel activists and pro-Palestinian organizations.
The first was Clinton’s honesty. He stood up and essentially put to lie the narrative of Palestinian victimhood popular among some progressive and pro-Palestinian supporters in Michigan.
Clinton said that when he was president, Yasser Arafat was offered a state on 96% of the West Bank and Gaza, could choose from inside Israel where he wanted to take the remaining four percent, and was offered a capital in east Jerusalem, including control of two of the four quarters in the Old City.
“And they said no,” the former president declared.
Part of the reason, Clinton said, was that “Hamas did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians; they wanted to kill Israelis and make Israel uninhabitable. Well, I got news for them: They [the Jews] were there first before their [the Muslims’] faith existed. They were there in the times of King David, and the southernmost tribes had Judea and Samaria.”
This wasn’t Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reciting this history. It wasn’t a speaker for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. It was Clinton, a respected elder in the Democratic Party whom Harris wanted on the stump for her, and who was there when Arafat said “no.” He wasn’t a spectator to the events he described but a central participant. He knows.
The second striking aspect of Clinton’s speech – which included defending Israel’s war in Gaza and asking, “What would you do if it was your family… and one day they come for you and slaughter the people in your village?” – was the outpouring of appreciation his words elicited from Jews and pro-Israel supporters on social media.
Clinton’s direct words about Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, which he described as “united in thinking the only thing we have to do is run every Jew out of Israel,” resonated deeply. As did his statement: “And I’m sorry, I am not for that. I think that is wrong and violates everything we’ve stood for.”
Judging from social media reactions, what was striking here was not only Clinton’s defense of Israel but his straightforwardness in simply telling the truth.
Clinton deserves praise for doing that and doing it in Michigan on the eve of an election. But it is a sad commentary on the times – and an indication of how many Jews and Israelis feel so isolated – that the simple act of telling the truth about Israel and the conflict unleashes a flood of appreciation.
This phenomenon has appeared a number of times since October 7: enormous Jewish gratitude for non-Jewish personalities standing up for Israel, personalities like UK author Douglas Murray, Australian Sky News journalist Erin Molan, and US urban warfare expert John Spencer.
These people, unknown to most within the Jewish community before October 7, have emerged as heroes in the eyes of many Jews ever since for simply doing what Clinton did: speaking the truth.
It is wonderful to hear these voices. It is unfortunate that they are so rare that when they do emerge, the excitement they generate is tremendous.
Trump campaign, Georgia Republicans file federal suit in ballot controversy
The Trump campaign and Georgia Republicans have filed a federal lawsuit in Georgia to halt the counting of ballots that were handed in after early voting ended Friday.
The lawsuit names the following counties: Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Fulton, Chatham, Athens-Clarks and Clayton, which is just south of Atlanta.
The Trump campaign said early voting in Georgia was “required to end statewide on Friday, November 1.”
“At the last minute several heavily Democrat counties announced they would open their offices over the weekend to receive mail ballots. This is illegal, so we immediately filed a state court lawsuit. In a win for election integrity, the counties retreated from plans to keep drop boxes open over the weekend, but we continue to fight the illegal re-opening of the centers in state and federal court,” the campaign said in a statement. “This is a clear, partisan violation of the law intended to boost Democrat efforts in Georgia. With just two days until our country’s most important election, it is critical for officials to follow the law and run the election in a fair and transparent manner.”
The campaign said such actions “undermine the security of our elections and drive up mistrust in the process.”
“At minimum, we want to sequester the ballots that were submitted without proper oversight of our election observers,” Georgia GOP Chairman Josh McKoon said in a statement. “Additionally, we have requested Georgia’s Secretary of State and Attorney General get involved to resolve this matter and find answers to the burning questions we all have.”
He added: “We will keep the public informed all along the way. However, this doesn’t change our overall mission. We MUST keep our foot on the gas and turn out voters on Tuesday like our lives depend on it. Because it does.”
Harris’ policies led to the death of thousands of Americans. She has never opologized to anyone of the families who suffered as her hands were soaked in blood.
Laken Riley, was murdered by an illegal alien, a criminal, who Harris supported his release from jail. Upon that release this vicious killer murdered in Cold Blood, a beautiful young girl – her name is Laken Riley.
The suspect, José Antonio Ibarra, is a 26-year-old Venezuelan who had entered the United States illegally.[6] He was arrested by UGA police and has been charged with 10 charges, including felony murder, malice murder, false imprisonment, aggravated assault with intent to rape, and kidnapping.[7][8][5] He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.[9] The trial is expected to take place on November 18, 2024.[10]
The killing of Riley made international news, generating extensive media attention.[11] It sparked a debate over immigration in the United States after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed Ibarra is not a U.S. citizen and was caught crossing the border but was released into the United States.[3] On March 7, 2024, the House of Representatives passed an immigration bill named the Laken Riley Act, requiring federal detention of migrants who commit burglary or
There is no doubt in anyones mind that Trump will Drain the Swamp; the one who so savagely tried to frame him, leading to two impeachments and the allege Russian investigation. Remember, it was Hillary(Lock Her Up)Clinton who paid for the Fake Dossier. She then had it signed, sealed and delivered to her comrades in the justice department.
And Harris, her policies are binary, “Take from the Rich, and Give to the Poor.” The Kamaleon does not believe in free enterprise; she has been brainwashed by her radical, left wing, socialist father who is an advocate of Crititical Race Theory, equalization of income. These are Marxian theories which have bankrupted on country after another. He got his PHD from Berkley. That says it all.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul condemned people who plan to vote Republican on Election Day as “anti-woman” and “anti-Republican” in her final pitch to voters.
Hochul made the comments during a Saturday appearance on MSNBC, telling hosts that voting for any Republican candidate across the state would tie that voter to former President Trump.
Hochul said she wanted to “remind everybody that if you’re voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump, and you’re anti-woman, you’re anti-abortion, and basically, you’re anti-American,” Hochul said. “You have just trashed American values and what our country is all about.”
“You will wear this on Election Day,” Hochul added.
Hochul’s comments are the latest in a train of Democrats shaming Republicans for voting for Trump. Biden made the most notable contribution last week when he panned Trump’s supporters as “garbage,” though he later tried to clarify the statement.
NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” may have broken federal regulations governing airtime with the appearance of Vice President Kamala Harris this weekend, an FCC official said.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr says the appearance may have violated the equal time rule, a requirement that public broadcast organizations offer comparable time and placement to qualifying candidates during a major election.
Carr said Harris’ appearance on SNL may have broken the rule if NBC did not also send an invitation to former President Trump.
“This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule,” Carr wrote of Harris’ appearance. “The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct – a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election. Unless the broadcaster offered Equal Time to other qualifying campaigns.”
Trump campaign Senior Advisor Jason Miller told Fox News Digital that Trump did not receive an invite. An NBC News report also stated that a spokesperson for SNL “did not return a request for comment on whether it invited Trump to appear.”
