We are less than three weeks away from the November election. The presidential race is heating up.

Vice President Kamala Karris and former President Donald Trump have been really hitting the pavement hard to campaign for votes.

They know every vote counts in what is expected to be one of the closest and most watched presidential races.

The latest New York Times presidential poll shows Harris with 49% and Trump with 47%

These polls will keep changing of course and there is a margin of error. The two candidates are essentially tied across the seven key battleground states. It's hard to think of any election when so many critical states were so close in the polls at this stage

And of those key battleground states the New York Times poll says Harris is down one point in Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

Trump is down one point in North Carolina and Georgia but up two in Arizona.

There will be lots of factors effecting the vote too - like social media and what Harris believes will be an influx of younger voters heading to the polls after her endorsement from Taylor Swift.

News 12 Connecticut's Mark Sudol will be at the Fairfield University bookstore on Monday at 6 p.m. for a political discussion on the presidential race with Fairfield Unuversity professor Gayle Alberda for key insights and analysis.
