Presidential polls live updates: Kamala Harris poses for Vogue as battleground survey shows a dead heat with Trump

A new Wall Street Journal poll of voters in seven battleground states revealed that the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is still extremely tight.

Harris has a small lead in Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia while Trump is edging her out in Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

But almost of the results are within the margin of error, which is an indicator that the presidential contest is going to come down to the wire.

Notably, voters in the survey said that they trust Trump over Harris to handle top issues including securing the southern border and the economy.

Former president Donald Trump seized on his predecessor Barack Obama’s comments accusing black men of being sexist for not backing Kamala Harris.

The former president gave a group of African-American voters a lecture about the low enthusiasm for Harris compared to when he was running for president.

'We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. Now, I also want to say that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers,' Obama said.

He continued: 'Part of it makes me think - and I'm speaking to men directly - part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you´re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.'

'You're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I've got a problem with that.'

Trump posted on Truth Social on Friday: ‘Obama admits a total lack of enthusiasm for Kamala, especially with Black Men. I think Obama will be voting for me because he doesn’t like the fact that Kamala is an extremely Low IQ Person!’

When Kamala Harris went to work for the San Francisco city attorney's office, it was seen as a step down from her work as a prosecuter as she planned her campaign for District Attorney.

An old performance review from the city obtained from DailyMail.com suggests she did not take her work seriously.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., fired back at President Joe Biden after he called on Congress to return before the election to vote on aid to assist hurricane recovery.

Biden on Thursday said Congress 'should be coming back and moving on emergency needs immediately.'

And DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has said more money needs to be authorized as hurricane season continues.

Johnson's spokesperson fired back in a statement:

The lawmaker has said the agency can operate fine on the over $20 billion Congress authorized last month.

Polls this week show Kamala Harrisis outperforming Donald Trump with women.

But in some battleground states, she is trailing by more than a dozen points among men.

According to a New York Times/Siena College poll of male voters, Trump leads nationally by 51 percent to 40 percent.

Democrats are starting to fear she isn’t making enough inroads with men to secure a victory in November.

Black and Latino men also appear to be a problem for Harris. A USA Today/Suffolk University poll from this week showed Trump leading among Latino men between the ages of 18 and 34 by 51 percent to Harris’ 39 percent.

His support increases in older Latino men aged 35 to 49 with 57 percent compared to 37 percent for Harris.

JD Vance turned an awkward situation into applause after someone collapsed during an event with Danica Patrick in North Carolina.

Donald Trump's running mate was speaking when the person shrieked and fell down to gasps from the crowd.

As the Ohio Senator rushed over to them, he decided to make light of it, saying: 'Kamala Harris built this platform behind us.'

The audience gave both laughs and a standing ovation for the Republican VP nominee's joke as Vance cracked a smile.

Vance was participating in a town hall conversation with the former racecar driver in Greensboro Thursday night.

Barack Obama's crude joke at President Donald Trump during his first solo campaign event for Kamala Harris has spectacularly backfired.

Speaking at the University of Pittsburgh Thursday night, Obama hinted that he believed that the 78-year-old Trump wore adult diapers.

Obama, 63, recalled that he couldn't believe how expensive diapers were when he became a parent. 'Do you think Donald Trump ever changed a diaper?' he mused.

'His own!' yelled back an audience member.

'I almost said that, but I decided I should not say it,' Obama said with a laugh.

Social media was not amused, with at least one X user making an ironic reference to the president's former running mate: 'Obama would know about changing diapers. He does for Joe.'

Barack Obama accused black male voters who refuse to support Kamala Harris of sexism and demanded they get on board with the Democrat nominee.

The former president was at a campaign field office in Pittsburgh to thank volunteers, but instead gave them a lecture, saying he wanted to 'speak some truths.'

Obama said he was responding to reports on the ground that there was lower enthusiasm for Harris than there was for his own candidacy and that some black men were thinking of sitting out the election.

Vice President Kamala Harris was put in the hot seat by a group of undecided Hispanic voters in Nevada on Thursday where she was pressed over a series of key issues from immigration to health care.

But as the vice president looks to lock in support from this key voting bloc with just 26 days to be before Election Day, she played it safe, sidestepping on some hot button issues and resorting back to talking points she often uses on the campaign trail.

The hour-long town hall was tapped at the University of Nevada Las Vegas to air nationally on Univision on Thursday night.

Journalist Enrique Acevedo moderated the program where at times he also played translator as questions were posed both in Spanish and English by the voters.

Former President Donald Trump will also participate in a Univision town hall with undecided Hispanic voters next week after a taping earlier this week was delayed due to Hurricane Milton.

Here are the takeaways from the vice president's town hall:
