A pair of pollsters known for their accuracy in the last two presidential election cycles have given former President Donald Trump some more good news during separate cable news appearances on Thursday. Pollster Matt Towery, for instance, told Fox News that Trump is cutting into Vice President Kamala Harris’ majority shares of black and Hispanic voters.
“There is momentum with Trump there wasn’t that momentum in 2020 you end it was quite momentum in 2016. My second time as a refugee from Florida to broadcast. Going for quick observations. First of all Trump is winning and state says we see African American vote really collapse. Not collapse in a massive but in a manner never seen among Democratic nominees before, particularly black men,” Towery said. “He’s gaining among independents and, third, the prediction models are still trying to say Harris is going to win, but they didn’t catch the change momentum that we saw a couple of weeks ago, and now they are playing catch up. One last point in Florida where we are tonight, as well as North Carolina, there were concerns about turnout and making sure Republicans can get to the vote.”
Next, pollster Robert Cahaly told Fox News host Sean Hannity that there would be even more questions about polling than there would have been following the inaccurate polling of 2016 and 2020. “The problem you have is all the statistics you see, everything outside the top numbers, with what Trump is doing with Hispanics and the Black voters. How he’s doing today, there are numbers today with the Korean vote in Georgia. He is absolutely above where he should be in all these indicators are so clearly,” he said.
“It’s hard to conceive how you create polls that tell a different narrative. That is something people are going to ask a lot of questions after 2024 even more so than 2016 and 2020. There needs to be accountability on this. There are so many thumbs on the scale and polls designed to move the electorate and not reflective of it,” Cahaly added.
