Notably, on August 23, \u2063Nate \u2063Silver, \u200ca <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prominent-pollster-says-time-for-america-to-require-all-ballots-be-counted-on-election-day\/\" title=\"Prominent Pollster Says Time for America to Require All Ballots Be Counted on Election Day\">prominent pollster<\/a>, indicated that Trump had a 46.1% chance\u2062 of winning compared to Kamala \u2064Harris\u2019s \u200d53.5%. However, this dynamic shifted dramatically\u200c when independent candidate Robert \u2064F.\u200c Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign \u2062and formed an alliance with \u2064Trump. \u200bThis\u200d coalition seemingly energized Trump&#8217;s \u200bsupporters\u2064 and led to a favorable shift \u200bin polling data.<\/p>\n<p>As of early\u2064 September, Silver updated Trump\u2019s\u2064 probability of winning\u200d to 61.5%,\u200b with Harris dropped to\u2064 38.3%. Trump \u200bis showing \u2063strong prospects in\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iowa-set-to-host-a-frenzy-of-2024-republican-presidential-campaign-activity\/\" title=\"Iowa to host 2024 GOP campaign frenzy.\">key swing\u2062 states<\/a> such\u2063 as Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, where he has been assigned favorable odds of victory. In contrast, Silver noted Harris&#8217;s underperformance relative to \u2063her national\u200b poll standings.<\/p>\n<p>The article emphasizes that while polling can often misrepresent true voter sentiments, \u2063Trump&#8217;s \u200dsupport has historically been underestimated. Moving forward, the narrative around\u2062 Trump&#8217;s campaign is \u200dbolstered\u2064 by\u2062 recent developments and \u2062alliances, particularly with Kennedy, which could potentially \u2062influence the upcoming election significantly.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>If you have sensed growing momentum for former President Donald Trump in the last two weeks, you&rsquo;re in good company.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, prominent establishment pollster Nate Silver &mdash; who founded ABC&rsquo;s FiveThirtyEight &mdash; released a new set of projections based on what he called &ldquo;more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/election-guru-drops-brutal-election-bomb-kamala-harris-mediocre-trend-hits-hard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mediocre<\/a> swing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/last-watergate-baby-sen-leahy-81-likely-seeking-9th-term\/\" title=\"Last &#039;Watergate Baby&#039; Sen.

That would flip Arizona and its <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Electoral_College_in_the_2024_presidential_election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">11 electoral votes<\/a> to Trump based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Presidential_election,_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2020 election&rsquo;s<\/a> certified results.<\/p>\n<p>The big news, however, involved two other states that President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/humiliation-kamala-harris-biden-admits-inflation-reduction-act-name-mistake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Biden<\/a> carried in 2020, according to certified results.<\/p>\n<p>Silver gave Trump a 67 percent chance of victory in Georgia and a 62 percent chance in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming other 2020 results hold, those two states, along with Arizona, would return the former president to the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, to illustrate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-says-sending-kamala-harris-special-gift-since-keeps-copying-policies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump&rsquo;s<\/a> strength across all swing states, Silver also made the former president the favorite in Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Latest?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Latest<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NateSilver538?\">@NateSilver538<\/a> forecast (chance of winning)<\/p>\n<p>August 23<br \/> &#128998; Harris: 53.5%<br \/> &#128997; Trump: 46.1%<\/p>\n<p>September 6<br \/> &#128997; Trump: 61.5%<br \/> &#128998; Harris: 38.3%<br \/> &mdash;&mdash;<br \/> Swing States: chance of winning<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania &ndash; &#128308; Trump 62-38%<br \/> Michigan &ndash; &#128308; Trump 52-48%<br \/> Wisconsin &ndash; &#128308; Trump 52-48%<br \/> Arizona &ndash; &#128308;&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2JqxjoAr5O\">pic.twitter.com\/2JqxjoAr5O<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IAPolls2022\/status\/1832093669417165307?\">September 6, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Silver himself posted a chart showing an aggregate of polls in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>That aggregate, featuring &ldquo;mediocre swing state polls for Harris&rdquo; of late, showed the vice president with a narrow lead, though that obviously did not stop Silver from giving Trump a 62 percent chance of winning the state.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Today&rsquo;s numbers.<\/p>\n<p>More mediocre swing state polls for Harris, and her lead in national polls is down a tick, too, to 3.0 points.<\/p>\n<p>Note that these polling averages aren&rsquo;t affected by convention bounce stuff.<\/p>\n<p>More coming soon.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vsGVG18HHI\">https:\/\/t.co\/vsGVG18HHI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RAr5mI22uH\">pic.twitter.com\/RAr5mI22uH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NateSilver538\/status\/1832091807628611770?\">September 6, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In Friday&rsquo;s &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.natesilver.net\/p\/nate-silver-2024-president-election-polls-model\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silver Bulletin<\/a>,&rdquo; the pollster characterized Harris as &ldquo;underperforming in swing states relative to her national numbers.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He went on to describe that underperformance as &ldquo;a theme lately, especially in Pennsylvania.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>So what to make of all this pro-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/longtime-democratic-leader-says-enough-throws-support-behind-donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> optimism?<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, of course, pollsters have not exactly covered themselves in glory.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate that point, I like to remind readers that in 2020 the final RealClearPolling average showed Trump with a narrow one-point lead over Biden in the expected swing state of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolling.com\/polls\/president\/general\/2020\/ohio\/trump-vs-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ohio<\/a>.

If you think establishment pollsters would not manipulate their data so as to push a narrative that benefits the establishment candidate, then you do not know the establishment very well.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the fact that Silver has already made Trump a strong favorite means that the former president almost certainly has a much larger lead than any of the more pro-Harris polling averages suggest.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, for all his juggernaut-ish qualities as a political figure, Trump may very well owe a particular thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/rfk-jr-slams-kamala-harris-says-need-president-can-put-together-english-sentence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kennedy<\/a> for this recent surge.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\">  <\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> <label>* Name<\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> <\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> <label>* <\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> <\/div>\n<p> <label>* Message<\/label> <br \/> <textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea>  <\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\">  <\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

On Friday, well-known pollster Nate Silver, founder of ABC&#8217;s FiveThirtyEight, shared new projections that he described as stemming from &#8220;more mediocre swing state polls&#8221; concerning Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. In summary, Trump&#8217;s chances of winning the 2024 election have risen to their highest level since Harris began her campaign.<\/p>\n<p>According to polling aggregator InteractivePolls on X (formerly Twitter), a significant shift toward Trump occurred on August 23. At that time, Silver estimated Harris had a 53.5% chance of winning compared to Trump&#8217;s 46.1%. However, on that same day, Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign and allied with Trump; they even appeared together at a rally in Arizona later that evening.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, polling data has consistently favored Trump. As of Friday&#8217;s update from Silver, he assigned Trump a 61.5% chance of victory against Harris&#8217;s 38.3%. Data from seven key swing states supports this projected advantage: Silver assessed Trump&#8217;s odds at 75% in Arizona and 74% in North Carolina\u2014both states would flip to Trump based on the certified results from the previous election.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Silver also indicated strong chances for Trump in Georgia (67%) and Pennsylvania (62%), both states won by President Joe Biden in 2020 according to certified results; if these trends hold along with Arizona\u2019s outcome, they could lead to Trump&#8217;s return to the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Silver identified Trump as the frontrunner in Nevada, Wisconsin, and Michigan among all swing states analyzed.<\/p>\n<p>In his latest forecast dated August 23rd:<br \/>\n&#8211; Harris: 53.5%<br \/>\n&#8211; Trump: 46.1%<\/p>\n<p>By September 6th:<br \/>\n&#8211; Trump: 61.5%<br \/>\n&#8211; Harris: 38.3%<\/p>\n<p>Swing State probabilities included:<br \/>\n&#8211; Pennsylvania \u2013 Trump: **62** &#8211; **38**<br \/>\n&#8211; Michigan \u2013Trump: **52** &#8211; **48**<br \/>\n&#8211; Wisconsin \u2013Trump: **52** &#8211; **48**<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, despite showing a narrow lead for Harris based on recent &#8220;mediocre&#8221; polls aggregated for Pennsylvania\u2014Silver still gave him a solid chance there too at around **62%**.<\/p>\n<p>In his \u201cSilver Bulletin\u201d released Friday morning , he noted that while national polls show some decline for Harris\u2019s lead down by about three points recently\u2014her performance is notably weaker within critical swing states like Pennsylvania\u2014a trend observed lately.<\/p>\n<p>However one must consider past inaccuracies among pollsters; during the last election cycle RealClearPolitics showed an overly optimistic view towards Biden\u2019s support which ultimately underestimated Trump&#8217;s actual backing across various battlegrounds including Ohio where he won by over eight points despite being shown narrowly behind prior.<\/p>\n<p>This raises questions about polling methodologies and potential biases within establishment circles aiming narratives favoring certain candidates; thus it seems likely that current figures may understate Trump&#8217;s true standing given how often historical data suggests underestimations occur when it comes down specifically towards him.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately though regardless of any external factors influencing these numbers\u2014it appears Kennedy&#8217;s recent alliance has played an instrumental role contributing significantly towards boosting momentum surrounding former president Donald trump leading into upcoming elections ahead!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2338064,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/harris-and-trump-closeup.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40337,32438,15698,3634],"class_list":["post-2338063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-election-model","tag-kamala-harris","tag-polling","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/harris-and-trump-closeup.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2338063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2338064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2338063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2338063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2338063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
