Trump wins election with decisive margin reflecting pre-election polls

Former President Donald Trump won the election, taking both the popular vote and the electoral college. His victory aligns with pre-election polling, which showed a close race between him and Vice President Kamala Harris, with neither candidate holding a clear lead. Trump's success came from winning key states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, all of which he captured by narrow margins. Polls had indicated these outcomes, showing a tight race within the error margins. Analysts suggest that the unpopularity of the Democratic incumbent may have influenced the election results. The polling accurately reflected the competitive nature of the race, despite the final outcome being a decisive win for Trump.
