The Seven Presidential Battlegrounds

Seven states - worth 93 electoral votes in 2024 - have dominated this presidential election cycle seemingly from the beginning. In the final Consensus Electoral Map, six of these seven states remain toss-ups. 

The polls have largely agreed as well, with neither candidate separated by more than 2% in any of these seven states. That said, keep in mind that polling errors are often correlated. Given that all of these states are within a normal polling error, it is quite possible that either Harris or Trump could end up winning most or all of them.

On this page you will find live results for these battleground states. We've divided them into three geographic groups which - conveniently - also closely corresponds with when the polls close in those states. For more results, visit the Live Electoral College Map >.

All times Eastern (ET). Where states span multiple time zones, no winner will be projected before all polls have closed. Vote counts and race projections provided by Decision Desk HQ.
