Vice President Harris and former President Trump are deadlocked in key swing states just days before the presidential election, according to survey released Monday.

Polling from Emerson College Polling and The Hill released the day before Election Day shows Harris and Trump in a tight set of match-ups in the battleground states. Trump holds an edge in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, while Harris has the edge in Michigan.

They are tied in Nevada and Wisconsin.

In North Carolina, Trump leads Harris 49 percent to 48 percent. Trump also leads in Pennsylvania, 49 percent to Harris’s 48 percent. In Arizona, Trump edges past Harris, 50 percent to 48 percent. In Georgia, Trump leads with about 50 percent to Harris’s 49 percent.

In Michigan, Harris leads Trump 50 percent to 48 percent. The two are tied in Nevada at 48 percent apiece, and in Wisconsin at 49 percent apiece.

Neither candidate’s lead in any of the states is outside the margin of error.

“As seen in national and previous polls, gender continues to provide a sharp contrast in voting intention,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, noted in a press release.

“In states where Harris has an edge, like Michigan and Wisconsin, voters break in near opposite directions, whereas states where Trump has an edge, like North Carolina and Pennsylvania, men break for Trump by a larger margin than women break for Harris.”

The two have been crisscrossing the swing states in the final days of the election, as those seven states will determine who takes the White House. An aggregate of national surveys compiled by Decision Desk HQ shows the two tied at 48.3 percent each.

The surveys from Emerson College Polling and The Hill were conducted between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2.

In Arizona, 900 respondents were surveyed for a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points. In Michigan, 790 respondents were surveyed for a margin of error of 3.4 points. In North Carolina, 860 respondents were surveyed for a margin of error of 3.3 points. In Nevada, 840 respondents were surveyed for a margin of error of 3.3 points. In Pennsylvania, 1,000 respondents were surveyed for a margin of error of 3 points. In Wisconsin, 800 respondents were surveyed for a margin of error of 3.4 points.
