The “This is a tied race!!!” and “Harris is losing momentum!!!” takes are so tedious.
Just today we had two pretty good national polls have her +5 and +6. And she’s now averaging out to be ahead in each of the seven swing states… and that’s including one state that wasn’t even considered swing earlier this summer, because it was assumed red.
Yet talking heads (including Amy Walter on today’s Tim Miller podcast) keep throwing their hands up and saying “meh, tied.”
I’m fully aware that polls are just a snapshot in time, and I 100% agree that we saw pretty big polling errors in 2016 and 2020. Not arguing any of that, nor do I think this race is over.
But it’s infuriating to hear these “experts” say this is a tied race. It simply isn’t. And if the numbers were all reversed and Trump had a 4-6 point lead in big reputable national polls, not one of those experts would be calling the race tied.
