Overview
In a surprising turn of events during the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump emerged victorious against Kamala Harris despite polls suggesting a close race favoring Harris.

With Trump winning critical swing states and poll results dramatically skewed, experts are calling for a reevaluation of polling techniques to better capture less politically engaged voters. The election outcome highlights the ongoing challenges in accurately forecasting election results.
