The âThis is a tied race!!!â and âHarris is losing momentum!!!â takes are so tedious.
Just today we had two pretty good national polls have her +5 and +6. And sheâs now averaging out to be ahead in each of the seven swing states⊠and thatâs including one state that wasnât even considered swing earlier this summer, because it was assumed red.
Yet talking heads (including Amy Walter on todayâs Tim Miller podcast) keep throwing their hands up and saying âmeh, tied.â
Iâm 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 itâs infuriating to hear these âexpertsâ say this is a tied race. It simply isnât. 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.
