    I've made this prediction that Trump is going to lose Pennsylvania but win Michigan... a fairly likely outcome here is that Kamala Harris wins Pennsylvania and loses the election.

    It it looks as though, you know, the the popular vote gap is going to be, I I would think, relatively significant. I'd be shocked if he wins the popular vote in this year's election.

    So to me, anything in Wisconsin that's tied, the conventional wisdom is that Trump will take it because we're underrepresenting.

    Now the race is much tighter. It's about a half a point. I still think it leans towards Harris... but that's a state where I think the Democrats can still hold it.

    that's a number that, as you take a look at, it looks like Pennsylvania should go towards Trump, and that would suggest he would have some success on election night

    but I think Georgia is a pretty strong state for Trump... but it seems to be leaning towards Trump at this time.

    I'm really bullish on Eric Covedy, not just winning, but I think he's going to be a great, great addition of the Senate.

    I think there's a very real likelihood that he's going to end up winning the popular vote because he's not going to lose New York by the size of the last time.

    Harris is a nominal favorite, and so if you forced us to make a pick for the presidency, we'd have to go with her.

    our forecast remains that the presidency is a pure tossup, with Kamala Harris at a 53% chance to win and Donald Trump at a 47% chance to win. Harris is a nominal favorite, and so if you forced us to make a pick for the presidency, we'd have to go with her.

    Still, this poll alone moves Iowa to Leans Republican in our forecast, with Trump being a 76% favorite to keep the state in his column

    I think of the ultimate reason Kamala Harris is going to lose, which is that she doesn't have any core value.
