A data scientist who constructed a model to predict who will win the 2024 presidential election says Donald Trump has surged ahead in the last week.
Dr Thomas Miller from Northwestern University runs a website called The Virtual Tout, where he posts daily electoral vote forecasts. He also maps these predictions onto a graph with a timeline of major events that could sway voters – such as the July 13 assassination attempt against Trump and the October 1 debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz.
At the end of last month Miller placed Kamala Harris ahead of Trump – on September 30 she was predicted to take 308 electoral votes and Trump just 230.
However, after a week of Democrat numbers dropping, on October 7 the Republican took the lead with 270 to Harris’ 268.

Guys, this is from the leftwing site, The Independent.
A number of reasons stand out to me:
1. Vance absolutely buried Walz in the debate last week.
2. The hurricanes and lack of FEMA funding has illustrated how inept the Harris administration is. Her sniping at DeSantis won't help.
3. The war in the Middle East. People don't trust Harris to be tough.
4. Harris has a history of fading after a quick start when people see how silly, vapid, and incompetent she is.
5. The pro-abortion sentiment in this country turned out to be dramatically over-hyped.
