CNN senior analyst Harry Enten says Donald Trump has a shot at winning the popular vote after reviewing the latest (and possibly last) round of polling before Election Day.
Enten broke down the numbers after a New York Times/Siena College poll was released showing Trump tied with Vice President Kamala at 48% in the national popular vote.
“Everyone has been talking about this idea that Trump may win in the Electoral College, but Kamala Harris may win the popular vote, but Trump may finally get his great white whale.”
“Fact is, Donald Trump is very much in a position – he could win the popular vote, which of course is something he would absolutely love to do,” Enten added.
Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and 2020.
“So now Donald Trump‘s in a position he really hasn‘t been before at this point in the campaign, where he could truly compete, and we can truly say that the popular vote at this point is way too close to call,” Enten said.
A GOP candidate has only won the popular vote and the electoral college one time since 1988.
Enten continued: “I wanted to jump even further back in my time machine to get an understanding – ‘Hey, I haven’t heard about a Republican potentially winning the popular vote in a while.’ And it turns out a Republican winning the popular vote – it hasn‘t happened since 2004 and George W. Bush defeating John Kerry.”
