Former President Donald Trump said he has a 97% chance of winning the US election – despite polls overall showing he remains neck-and-neck with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump spoke confidently about his likelihood of victory while making a campaign stop in Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday, with four days until Election Day.

‘We have polls that came out just now. We’re doing very well in Michigan, we’re doing very well in Pennsylvania and we’re doing great in Arizona, eight or nine (percentage points) up, something like that,’ said Trump during his visit to a restaurant.

‘And overall we’re going extremely well, somebody said a 97% chance of winning.’

Trump did not disclose the source of the statistic.

The RealClearPolitics poll average on Friday had Trump leading Harris by just 0.3% – 48.4% to 48.1%.

Meanwhile, the final survey by The Times and YouGov released on Friday showed Harris winning by a narrow margin.
