CNN’s Harry Enten Delivers Gloomy Forecast for Trump: Harris Leads in Key States and Has an ‘Absolutely Clear Path to 270’

CNN’s Harry Enten declared that Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has “an absolutely clear path” to 270 electoral votes and the White House on Thursday amid a polling bump for her in the Blue Wall states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Enten began by breaking down three new polls out of Pennsylvania.

“All these polls were released in the last 24 hours and we see a lot more blue than red on your screen. So Quinnipiac yesterday plus five in Pennsylvania for Kamala Harris. The New York Times this morning just out, a four-point lead for Kamala Harris, Franklin and Marshall in Pennsylvania, a three-point margin, a little bit closer. And Marist came out at midnight, or 12:01 ,came out with a tie. I will also note The Washington Post had a one-point advantage for Kamala Harris,” said Enten. “So the bottom line is there is a range of results in the Keystone State, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania. But it leans, the lean is in the Harris direction. Not one of these results, even within the margin of error, has Trump ahead.”

He went on to note that recent polling shows “the same thing” in Wisconsin and Michigan.

“Harry, what do you like to do when we get a whole lot of polling at once? What’s the best way to understand it? ” asked anchor John Berman .

“What’s the best way to understand it? Well, I could throw a bunch of numbers at you like I just did. Or we could average it all together! And all right, so this is Harris versus Trump in those Great Lake battleground states. We average it all together,” answered Enten.

He continued:

This is all the September polling, not just the ones that I showed you. And what do we see? In Michigan, a four-point advantage for Kamala Harris. In Pennsylvania, a two-point advantage. Wisconsin, a two-point advantage. Again, pretty gosh darn close, but leaning in her direction. And John, you know me, What does this all mean for the electoral map? Well, in the race to 270 electoral votes, keep in mind, Kamala Harris can win with just these northern battleground states: Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. So if we lean all of those blue here, and even if we give Donald Trump North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada, Kamala Harris gets to exactly 270 electoral votes. And based upon the polling averages at this particular point, though it is close in those Great Lake battleground states, they do at this time lean a little bit more towards Harris’s direction than Donald Trump’s direction.

“She has an absolutely clear path to 270. I would argue, at this particular hour this was the best polling for Kamala Harris, arguably of the entire campaign, because in the states that she needs to win — Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — the average of the polls do in fact show her ahead,” concluded Enten. “And she doesn’t need to win any of those southern battleground states if she wins those northern battleground states to get to exactly 270 electoral votes.”
