Explore our US elections forecast model
The elections are fast approaching, and the question on everyone’s mind is simple but momentous: Who will win? At The Economist we have built a predictive model which combines state and national polls with economic indicators and the latest machine-learning techniques to forecast the outcome of the race for the White House. The forecast is updated daily, and right now our model thinks Joe Biden is likely to beat Donald Trump in the electoral college and that he will secure the majority of the popular vote.

On Wednesday, President Trump refused to say whether he would commit to a peaceful transition of power if he lost the election, telling reporters: “We’re going to have to see what happens.” Earlier this month, we looked at a number of scenarios for what that might look like if this did, in fact, happen. At this point, though, no matter if you look at national or state polls — but you should really look at state polls — Joe Biden has a healthy advantage over Trump, leading him nationally by about 8 percentage points when you look at state polls.
- One scenario for what happens if Trump won’t leave? The Supreme Court intervenes. It might help explain why Republicans are now scrambling to confirm a replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the election. It’s rare for a president to be able to shift the balance of the court with a single nomination, but that’s exactly what Trump’s pick of Amy Coney Barrett is poised to do. It could be unpopular, though: Public opinion shows that many Americans think the winner of the 2020 election should appoint Ginsburg’s replacement.
- Another possible scenario? It’s increasingly likely we won’t know who won the election on Nov. 3. That’s because four important swing states (there’s a more than 50 percent chance that one of them will decide the Electoral College, according to our forecast) have already extended the deadline by which mail ballots must be received. It’s possible that these extensions will be overturned, but at this point, it could be days after the fact before we know who won.

In a year of turbulence and drama, our panel of leading Guardian journalists will dissect the headlines behind this decisive election for US democracy.
After a booming economy looked set to propel Donald Trump to re-election, his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and a summer of racial strife have seen a slump in his ratings, with national polls showing him trailing badly.
Ranged against him are Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris – one a fixture of Washington politics for half a century, the other a relative newcomer. Are they doing enough not simply to oppose Trump but to offer a positive vision of their own?
Join our panel, which includes senior political reporter for Guardian US, Daniel Strauss; Guardian US political correspondent Lauren Gambino; columnist for Guardian US, Richard Wolffe; and chaired by Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland.
