CNN’s Harry Enten has issued a warning that polling data may be underestimating former President Donald Trump once again, despite Vice President Kamala Harris gaining momentum in key swing states. Enten pointed out that historical data shows Trump has been underestimated in the polls in both the 2016 and 2020 elections.
According to recent polling data released by the New York Times-Sienna College, Harris is currently leading Trump by four points in the key swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. However, Enten cautioned that Trump’s popularity has actually increased since the same time in 2016 and 2020.
Enten emphasized that while Harris may be ahead in the polls at the moment, there is still a long way to go until the election, and polling data can shift. He also noted that Trump had a 10-point lead over President Biden in key swing states on issues most important to voters before Harris became the Democratic nominee.
The upcoming election is crucial as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin have been “bellwether” states in the past four presidential elections, meaning whoever wins them also wins the general election. With Trump’s history of outperforming polling data, the race between him and Harris is far from over.
As the election season progresses, it will be interesting to see how the polling data evolves and whether Trump can once again defy expectations and come out on top. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
