With just over a week to go until election day, the presidential race is looking closer than ever. This is bad news for Kamala Harris: after holding a steady three-point lead in the national polling average for much of September, her margin over Donald Trump is down to just 1.4 points. Swing state polls also went from showing a slight Harris advantage to a dead heat. In several high-quality election forecasts, Trump has now pulled slightly ahead of Harris, giving him better odds of winning. According to reporting from Axios, many top Democrats now believe their candidate will lose.
