CNN senior political data reporter Harry Enten said Wednesday on “News Central” that polls show former President Donald Trump is doing much better with independent voters than he has done so far in the 2020 election. He said he has it in place.
Host John Berman said: “In an election this close, any group of voters could play a decisive role, but this group of voters deserves attention in any election.'' I'm talking.”
He asked, “What do we know about independents now?”
Enten said, “What do we know about independence, which is the right-center of the constituency? Last time, Joe Biden won these voters by 11 points. If you look at September 2024. , a month ago, Kamala Harris was up 5 points among independents. But look at this, she was up just 2 points among the district's key bloc centers. It's down 9 points from where Biden was at the end of the 2020 campaign.
He added, “Of course this is a national picture. What's going on in the key battleground states, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, the Great Lakes Blue Wall? Last time Joe Biden to Donald Trump He won by 5 points. Look at where we are today. This is the type of move that Donald Trump wants to make in the center of the district by one point. Within range. But again, it's a movement. That's the trend we're looking at.”
