CNN Pollster Panicking Over Harris’ Performance in Battleground States

It is not often that you hear pure panic in the voice of a pollster, but that was clearly evident in the voice of CNN data reporter Harry Enten when he was reporting on Kamala Harris’ polling numbers.

Harris has actually increased her lead nationally against Trump, but as you all know, national numbers mean nothing.

Enten blew the alarm over the fact that in battleground states, Harris is dipping.

Panic Attack

Because we have liberal states with massive populations, it is far easier for a Democrat to win the popular vote than the Electoral College vote.

This is exactly why our Founding Fathers put this system in place… to give every state meaning.

Without the Electoral College, we might as well just have New York, Florida, Texas, and California vote and call it a day.

Enten was breaking all this down during a recent segment on CNN, explaining, "So let‘s take a look at the average margin nationally. Harris is ahead in the average poll by 2.5 points. But look in those seven key battleground states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Harris is only ahead by 0.3 points.

"So the bottom line is, in those seven key battleground states, it’s a significantly tighter race than it is nationally.

"Harris' chances if she wins the popular vote by two to three points, that chance she wins the Electoral College is only 53%.

“The bottom line is, you have to get all the way north to about three to four points for Harris to have a clear, clear, clear chance, the majority, the clear majority chance of winning the Electoral College.

“If she only wins by less than two, look at that, only a 23% chance of winning. Right now, Harris, is right now in that danger zone where, basically, about half the time, given the popular vote margin nationally, she would win.”

Enten just confirmed everything that I have been saying for weeks.

At this point, the race remains a coin flip, and while Trump is still behind in the key Blue Wall states, the trends are pointing in his direction.

If I had to guess right now, I would say there is no way that Trump will win the popular vote in this election, but he obviously still has a very good chance of winning the Electoral College.

That is exactly why his campaign is camping out in Michigan and PA right now, and I would expect his surrogates to try to soften Wisconsin so that Trump has a shot at taking that state as well.

If Trump can win two of those three, I don’t see how Harris can possibly win this election.

Give me another two or three weeks to let these polls level off, and I think we will have a fairly good idea of who is going to win this election.
