Usually the mainstream media will do anything to play cover for the Democrats. But sometimes the truth slips through.
And now CNN betrayed Kamala with one devastating truth bomb straight out of left field.
The Left eats one of their own
CNN’s top polling analyst, Harry Enten, made waves on Tuesday by asserting that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is “very much” still in the race, despite current polls showing him trailing Vice President Kamala Harris.
During the segment, Enten highlighted how the polls were notoriously off in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections when it came to measuring Trump’s support across key battleground states.
“So, August 13th, how far were the polls off in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin? And this is in 2016 and 2020,” Enten asked.
He then laid out the data: “In 2016, the average poll in those states that I mentioned, those Great Lake battleground states, Trump was underestimated by nine points on average at this point in 2016. How about 2020? It wasn’t a one-off. Look at this, he was underestimated by five points on average.”
Enten went on to note that Harris’ supposed lead over Trump in these crucial states was just four points—lower than the margin by which Trump was underestimated in the past.
“The bottom line is this. If you have any idea, if you’re a Kamala Harris fan and you want to rip open the champagne bottle, pop that cork, do not do it,” he warned.
Trump could win
Enten didn’t mince words, suggesting that a polling shift similar to those seen in previous years could easily put Trump in the lead.
“Donald Trump would actually win. I’m not saying that’s going to happen, but I am saying that he is very much in this ballgame based upon where he is right now. And compare that to where he was in prior years.”
Moreover, Enten pointed out that Harris’ current momentum and enthusiasm may not translate into actual votes.
He emphasized that, despite her slightly better numbers than Biden, the percentage of voters committed to definitely casting a ballot for her was lower than Biden by one point, while Trump has seen his numbers grow by two points in the same period.
“So, the bottom line here is, yes, there may be more enthusiasm for Kamala Harris, but the fact is we’re not seeing that necessarily translate in the almost certain to vote,” Enten said. He later added,
“And one little other note: Donald Trump is more popular today than he was on August 13th in either 2020 or 2016. So, the bottom line is, yes, Kamala Harris is doing better in the polls, but there’s a long way to go. The polls can shift. The almost certain to vote hasn’t actually shifted and Donald Trump is more popular than he was at either 2016 or 2020 at this point.”
