Smerconish in philadelphia, the final day of voting is four weeks from tuesday. And even without my showing you the latest polling, you already know the State Of Play while Vice President Kamala Harris has a slight edge over former President Trump at a popular vote the seven widely recognized Battleground States are within the margin of error this after a long strange trip in which nothing has moved the nation from an intractable divide when it began, there was a lot of talk about a third Party Factor but they couldnt find a ticket to meet the moment.
