The Democratic presidential candidate and the vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris, has the lead in three decisive so-called swing states. That’s according to a new opinion poll from the New York Times and Siena College.

In Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Harris leads by four percentage points. Donald Trump, has the support of 46 percent of voters against Harris’s 50.

The swing states play an important role because they usually stand and weigh between Republican and Democratic majorities, and thus can decide the election.

The new survey is one of the first comprehensive ones conducted since President Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of his re-election campaign earlier this summer.

Over 100 people have died in an Israeli attack on a school in Gaza, Arab media reports.

Several of them are women and children who sought shelter in the building, according to local authorities in Gaza.

The attack is one of the deadliest since the war between Israel and Hamas started, reports say Bloomberg.

Student Jaafar Taha, who lives near the school, tells BBC that he first heard a bang and then how people started screaming for help.

– It was terrible. There were body parts everywhere and the walls were covered in blood, he says.

Israel’s military, the IDF, claims in turn that the attack was aimed at members of terror-labeled Hamas who, according to them, built a “command and control center” in the school.

“The control center was used as a hideout for Hamas terrorists and commanders, from where various attacks were planned and carried out against IDF forces and the State of Israel,” writes the IDF on Telegram.
