**Washington, D.C.** – Just six weeks before Election Day, the race for the White House is incredibly tight, with the latest CNN poll showing Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump deadlocked among registered voters.

The survey, conducted by CNN and SSRS Opinion Panel from September 19th to 22nd, found Harris and Trump tied at 47% in a multi-candidate matchup, with Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver also on the ballot.

The candidates’ favorability ratings are also remarkably close. Forty-two percent of registered voters hold a favorable view of Trump, while 45% have a favorable view of Harris.

The poll highlights the top issues for voters, with the economy topping the list at 41%. Protecting democracy (21%), immigration (12%) and abortion/reproductive rights (11%) round out the key concerns.

Experts predict this election could be one of the closest in American history. FiveThirtyEight’s election forecast model puts the race in the toss-up category, with four swing states – Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and Nevada – all within a 1-point margin.

According to FiveThirtyEight, there’s a chance the election could see the smallest electoral-vote margin since 1876. CNN’s analysis indicates that the 2024 race is the closest in the past 60 years, with neither candidate achieving a lead of 5 percentage points or more in national polling.

While Harris holds a slim lead nationally, averaging 2.5 percentage points according to FiveThirtyEight, the race remains intensely close. RealClearPolling shows Harris leading by just 2.1 percentage points, with a nearly tied Electoral College race.

The race for the White House is poised to be a nail-biter, with key swing states likely determining the outcome.
