Special Poll
Former President Donald Trump recently shared that he could envision a scenario in which he loses the presidential election to Vice President Kamala Harris. In a phone interview, he acknowledged that, despite holding a significant lead, losing remains a possibility.
During the conversation, Trump responded to a question about his confidence in winning by saying, “Yeah, I guess, you know…you could lose. I mean, that happens, right?” He then added, “Bad things could happen. You know, things happen, but it’s going to be interesting.”
Current polling indicates a remarkably close race between Trump and Harris, with only a slim margin separating them in several critical swing states. With the election looking to be one of the tightest in American history, both campaigns are operating in high gear, knowing that even a small shift in key states could swing the outcome.
Neither campaign has managed to pull ahead by a decisive margin, despite Trump’s statements about his lead. Polling models suggest that a minor error in the projections could result in a clear win for either candidate.
Trump mentioned that he expects the results will be clear by election night and expressed confidence about timing his address appropriately. “I’ll be out there at the right time,” he assured.
As both campaigns make their final push, national polling averages show the two candidates in a dead heat, each capturing approximately 48.3 percent of the popular vote. Trump has often implied that if he were to lose, it could be due to external interference or issues with the voting process—a sentiment that may resonate with some of his supporters.
The Harris campaign, however, has stated that they are ready to counter any premature claims of victory from Trump, expecting him to signal such a win early as part of his election strategy.
