Karl Rove, a renowned Republican strategist and Fox News contributor, referred to the presidential election as a “coin toss” over the weekend.
He also noted that Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is “flatlining” as Republican nominee Donald Trump advances in the surveys.
“What we’ve seen is Harris sort of flatlining and modestly declining, and Donald Trump modestly rising. And as a result we’re seeing a 50-50 election, coin toss.” Rove said.
“If you take a look at RealClearPolitics, they see Donald Trump in the lead in seven states, enough to give him 300, over 300 electoral votes. But if you look at 538.com and the Silver Bulletin, two other aggregators of the recent polls, they show her leading in four states, him in three, with her at 276 and him at 262. There literally is not a single state in the those latter two aggregates in which anybody is ahead by 2% or more.” he added.
“If you take a look at all of 21 instances of data that you get from the aggregators, three aggregator polls times seven battleground states, 21 total data points, 16 of them are separated by less than 1%. So it’s a nailbiter and will be right to the end, I think,” he concluded.
