What the polls say about the seven battleground states

There are eight days until Election Day and there are seven states with close margins in the polls serving as key battleground states for Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump’s campaigns.
“Because of the Electoral College system, a small number of states are considered battleground states, the locations that are competitive enough that either Harris or Trump could win there,” according to NBC.
These seven states are Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada.
Taking information from a variety of different polls, here is a look into what the polls currently say about the seven swing states.
On online betting platforms, such as Bet 365, Bovada, Polymarket and Oddschecker, Trump is the solid betting favorite, per USA Today.
The favorite for this election has changed a few times since Harris became the Democratic nominee. In early October the odds shifted dramatically in favor of Trump, according USA Today.
“This shift follows reports, including one from the Wall Street Journal, which indicated that large bets at the crypto-based platform Polymarket had altered the odds dramatically, raising questions about their accuracy,” according to The Economic Times.
Elon Musk’s involvement in supporting Trump has also correlated with the increase in favorability for Trump, according to Forbes.
According to USA Today, the betting favorite has won the election every election since 1866, except for two times.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton was the favorite by a large margin but went on to lose, and in 1948 Harry Truman beat the eight-to-one odds and defeated Thomas Dewey.
