New Polling Average Has Trump Leading In EVERY SINGLE Swing State |
With barely a week to go until the 2024 presidential election, new poll averages from Decision Desk HQ/The Hill reveal former President Donald Trump holding a narrow lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in every key battleground state. The data, which includes averages from dozens of recent polls, shows Trump gaining ground in states critical to securing an Electoral College victory. In Florida, where 26 polls were analyzed, Trump leads Harris with 51.7% to her 45.1%, a margin of 6.6 points. This represents a significant shift in Trump’s favor, with a 2.0-point increase since last month. Nevada also shows a close race, with Trump narrowly leading Harris 48.1% to 47.2% based on 43 polls. Trump has increased his lead here by 1.2 points since the previous month’s data, highlighting the growing competition in a state where Democrats traditionally perform well. In Arizona, which has emerged as a crucial battleground in recent elections, Trump holds a 49.2% to 47.3% edge over Harris, based on 60 polls. The former president’s lead has grown by 1.2 points since last month, indicating a shift in favor of the Republican candidate. Georgia shows a similar pattern, with Trump at 48.8% compared to Harris’ 47.4% in an analysis of 56 polls. Trump has increased his margin by 1.0 point over the past month, making Georgia a pivotal state to watch. In Wisconsin, another critical swing state, Trump leads with 48.5% compared to Harris’ 48.1%, based on data from 67 polls. His lead, albeit slim, has increased by 0.7 points over the previous month. The story is similar in Pennsylvania, where Trump holds a narrow lead of 48.5% to Harris’ 48.1%, based on 89 polls. Trump’s margin in Pennsylvania has also grown by 0.7 points since last month, underscoring the competitive nature of the state. North Carolina shows Trump leading by 1.5 points with 49.1% support, compared to Harris’ 47.6% in an average of 59 polls. Trump’s lead in this state has risen by 0.4 points over the past month. Finally, in Michigan, Trump leads by a slim margin of 48.2% to Harris’ 47.9% from a compilation of 66 polls, reflecting a 0.3-point gain since last month. |

US urges Israel ‘to pause and further consider implementation’ of anti-UNRWA leglisation |
The US is “deeply troubled” by the legislation passed Monday by the Knesset targeting UNRWA, saying that it could force the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees to discontinue all of its operations in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, a State Department spokesperson tells The Times of Israel. “Implementing the legislation risks catastrophe for the more than 3 million Palestinians who rely on UNRWA for essential services, including health care, and primary and secondary education,” the spokesperson says. “The humanitarian response in Gaza relies on UNRWA facilities and expertise to operate. UNRWA remains indispensable to these operations. There is no entity that can replace UNRWA, especially during this crisis,” the statement continues. “We urge the government of Israel to pause and further consider implementation of this legislation to ensure UNRWA can effectively carry out its mission and facilitate humanitarian assistance.” “UNRWA has also long been an organization in need of reform. We support steps to strengthen UNRWA impartiality and neutrality, including to respond to allegations of ties to terrorism,” the US State Department spokesperson adds. |

Top member of Israeli hostage negotiating team quits |
|
A top member of Israel’s negotiating team for the release of the hostages held by Hamas announced his sudden resignation today. The news of Brig. Gen. Oren Setter’s resignation was first reported by Israel’s Kan public broadcaster and later confirmed by the IDF. Setter served as a deputy to Maj. Gen. (res.) Nitzan Alon, the IDF’s point man in the negotiations for a hostage-ceasefire deal. Kan suggests that Setter quit the negotiation team due to the impasse in the talks. In response to the report, the IDF says that Setter “worked tirelessly to advance the efforts to return the hostages,” since returning to the army from vacation ahead of his slated retirement last year. “The officer will return to assist the hostage headquarters in the future as well, as needed,” the IDF adds. |
