Battleground state results

Leading up to the November 5 elections, pollsters identified seven battleground states with polls within a few percentage points, making them too close to call.

In the US Electoral College, a candidate needs at least 270 out of 538 Electoral votes to win the presidency.

Each state is allocated a certain number of Electoral votes based on its population. Some states consistently favour one party, making them safe for either Democrats or Republicans, while “battleground” or “swing states” can shift, making them crucial in deciding the election.

The seven battleground states, totalling 93 Electoral votes, included:

Pennsylvania (19), Georgia (16), North Carolina (16), Michigan (15), Arizona (11), Wisconsin (10) and Nevada (6).
