CNN’s senior political knowledge reporter Harry Enten on Tuesday examined the likelihood that pollsters could also be underestimating Republican nominee Donald Trump’s 2024 probabilities, as they did in 2016 and 2020.
It’s extremely unlikely, Enten instructed “Information Central” anchor John Berman.
“I went again and checked out whether or not or not a celebration outran the polls three presidential election cycles in a row in the important thing battleground states,” Enten mentioned. “It’s by no means occurred. It’s by no means occurred. Zero occasions. Zero occasions since 1972.”
“So, if the polls are going to underestimate Donald Trump as soon as once more, that will be traditionally unprecedented,” he continued.
Some folks would argue the previous president “himself is traditionally unprecedented,” Enten acknowledged, including, although, that pollsters sometimes catch on that they’re not “taking into consideration some a part of the voters” and make an adjustment to their predictions.
“I feel that helps to clarify why now we have by no means seen that the identical get together has been underestimated thrice in a row in presidential elections, not less than during the last 52 years,” Enten theorized.
