In an appearance on 2WAY’s The Morning Meeting, political reporter and commentator Mark Halperin reportedly cautioned that “robust” private polling suggests that Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is “in a lot of trouble.”
He also observed that Democrats are becoming increasingly pessimistic about her candidacy.
“What’s happening now with Kamala Harris is, this is an experiment. Can you win a short campaign with an untested candidate? And what I’m telling you is happening in private polling is she’s got a problem now, okay? It’s not cheering for Trump. It’s not predicting Trump will win. She’s got a problem. Wall Street Journal has a story about Democrats really worried about the three Rust Belt states. We all know from our contacts in both campaigns that Pennsylvania is tough for her right now. And without Pennsylvania there are paths, but there aren’t many.” Halperin said.
“I just saw some new private polling that’s very robust. Private polling,” says @MarkHalperin. Kamala Harris “is in a lot of trouble … In the conversations I’m having with Trump people and Democrats with data, they are extremely bullish on Trump’s chances in the last 48 hours.… pic.twitter.com/KF3tSM2sLo

“For you Harris people on here complaining that we’re talking about problems in the Harris campaign, you’re welcome to put your head in the sand about it. If you want to go watch MSNBC primetime and hear how great things are going for the Harris campaign, you’re welcome to do that. But if you want to understand what’s actually happening, we’re here to tell you. I just saw some new private polling today that’s very robust private polling: She’s in a lot of trouble.” he continued.
