The race between Trump and Harris is heating up in the 60th Presidential Election in the United States. Although Harris appears to be leading nationwide, critical states will be decisive due to the Electoral College system. Recent polls indicate that Trump has a slight advantage in these states. Notably, in Michigan, Harris has lost the leadership she has maintained for a long time to Trump. The distribution of votes in these states will determine the outcome of the election.

As the 60th Presidential Elections in the United States approach, the competition between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris is intensifying. Polls conducted for the elections, which will take place on November 5, reveal an interesting picture nationwide. According to data compiled by the "Real Clear Politics (RCP)" platform, Harris appears to be ahead with 49.2% nationwide, compared to Trump's 47.5% support. However, due to the unique electoral system in the U.S., these nationwide results may be misleading.

The "Electoral College" system that determines the president in the U.S. decides the fate of the election in 7 critical states known as "swing states." Recent polls in these states show that Trump has a slight advantage. Trump is ahead of Harris in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, and North Carolina, while Harris is only leading in Wisconsin. The situation in Michigan is particularly noteworthy; Trump has taken the lead in this state, where Harris was ahead for a long time, in the last week.

It remains to be seen whether this picture will change in the time leading up to the election. It has been observed that Harris is particularly increasing her support among women and Latino voters. However, Trump's narrow lead in critical states may be more effective in determining the election outcome. As a result, despite Harris appearing to be ahead nationwide, Trump's advantage in critical states, due to the characteristics of the U.S. electoral system, stands out as the most important factor that could determine the fate of the election.
