'Absolutely Yes': CNN Data Reporter Spots Super 'Clear' Signal For A Harris Win

Harry Enten picked apart a historical polling detail that could indicate a defeat for GOP candidate Donald Trump.

CNN s senior political data reporter Harry Enten examined some of the clear signs that could be used to explain a victory for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris , if she wins next weeks presidential election.

And the number one sign is that Harris, simply put, is more popular than Donald Trump , Enten said on Thursday broadcast of News Central.

Harris net favorable rating is currently -2 points while Trumps is -7 points, noted Enten, who said hed looked at polls dating back to 1956 and found that it absolutely yes is the case that the more popular candidate usually wins.

Sixteen times the more popular candidate has won, only one time, the less popular candidate has won, he continued. I will note that was Donald Trump back in 2016. But of course, remember, Hillary Clinton was quite unpopular herself.

Harris, though, has been consistently more popular in the polls than Trump and consistently had a higher net favorable rating, said Enten, adding that normally, usually, the candidate whos more popular, goes on to win on Election Day.
