(The Hill) Election Day is a month away, and the polls show a breathtakingly close race.

Vice President Harris has a small lead nationwide. She led former President Trump by 3.4 points in the average maintained by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) as of Friday evening.

But the picture in the battleground states is tighter still.

Of the seven battlegrounds likely to decide the election, Harris leads in four states and Trump in three. But neither candidate is ahead in any of those critical states by more than 2 percentage points. In five of the states, the margin for the leading candidate is less than 1 point.

The campaigns will now be furiously battling it out on the campaign trail and in TV ads to try to drive turnout among their supporters and win over late-deciding voters.
