CNN’s Harry Enten Says ‘I Don’t Understand The Democratic Panic’ While Looking At Kamala Harris’s Two Paths to Victory

CNN data guru Harry Enten told anchor Erin Burnett he simply doesn’t understand the Democratic panic out there right now over Kamala Harris’s polls.

“It’s one of these funny things. Depending on which week, I get different friends from different sides of the aisle coming back to me. One week it’s the Republicans. This week it was the Democrats that were worrying. But then you look at polling like that and then we take a look at the race to 270. And I should point out the race to 270. The path to the 270 for Kamala Harris is very clear right now,” Enten said Monday night after looking at the latest Washington Post polls, he added:

You know, you talk about Wisconsin. Let’s turn that blue. All right. That gets Harris to 236 electoral votes. How about Michigan? We’ll give her blue there, 251 electoral votes. How about Pennsylvania? Look at this, two 270 electoral votes if those Washington Post polls are, in fact, correct.

And so she has a very clear path to 270 electoral votes. Of course, Erin, I don’t just like looking at one poll. I like to look at an aggregate of polling. So let’s take a look at the recent aggregate of polls in these blue-wall states. Now, what do we see? We see very close contest contests. It’s actually closer than the Washington Post polls.

But again, less than a point lead for Harris in Wisconsin, less than a point lead in Michigan, less than a point lead in Pennsylvania. But the bottom line is, Kamala Harris, based upon these polling data, both from The Washington Post and in the averages, has a very clear path at this particular point, just based upon those states to 270 electoral votes. The bottom line is, I don’t understand the Democratic panic right now because the path is clear.

Burnett replied, “It’s clear. And just to make it very clear for people, that would mean she doesn’t need to win any of those other states you have there, which includes North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia. I mean, that’s that just to put an emphasis on it. But North Carolina is a must-win for Trump. And any path he has to 270 I know you’ve got early voting in North Carolina that is started also in Georgia. And it has shattered records in both places. In Georgia, though, what is the number now, Harry?”

“More than 1.5 million,” Enten replied.

“Okay. And I had seen somewhere that we had double-digit percentage points, double-digit of who voted before. It could be 13% or so already of the electorate. I mean, those numbers are pretty stunning. So what are you looking for in Georgia?” Burnett asked.

“Yeah, What am I looking for in these states? I mean, look, I think we’re going to have a very close race in Georgia. Look at this,” he said before going back to the map, adding:

We got a point lead in the polls there for Donald Trump, well within the margin of error. Less than a point in North Carolina, two point lead for Donald Trump, again, well within the margin of error in Arizona, less than a point lead for Kamala Harris in Nevada. So, you know, even if we gave, you know, Donald Trump, say, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, you can still, in fact, Kamala Harris to 270 by giving her North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. So, again, I don’t understand this Democratic panic.
