Polling guru Nate Silver's prediction gives Donald Trump a 63.8% chance of winning the Electoral College, while Vice President Kamala Harris's lead narrows to 36% in a recent New York Times/Siena College poll.
Fox News' latest report features renowned polling guru Nate Silver discussing his revised election predictions and the unexpected twists in the Trump-Harris matchup. According to Silver's latest update on Sunday, Donald Trump has a 63.8% chance of winning the Electoral College, while Vice President Kamala Harris's chances have dwindled to 36%.
This prediction follows the release of the New York Times/Siena College poll, indicating the former president leading Harris by 1 percentage point. Although Harris has consistently topped national and swing state polls since assuming the top spot on the ticket, Silver believes these recent results support his model's perception of a "shift in momentum" in the race.

Additionally, the NYT/Siena College poll suggests that more voters perceive Harris as "too liberal or progressive" compared to Trump's "too conservative" image. Silver emphasizes the significance of this perception, considering it a challenge for Harris to navigate and improve.
Furthermore, Silver notes that if Harris delivers a compelling performance in the upcoming debate, the NYT poll's results may become inconsequential. He adds that Michigan and Pennsylvania, both crucial swing states, could pose a problem for Harris, as polling averages indicate a narrowing of her lead in those areas.

Silver highlights specific aspects of the NYT poll, particularly the finding that 47% of voters view Harris as overly liberal. He believes Harris may struggle to change this perception and criticizes her choice of Tim Walz as her running mate, suggesting it signals a lack of movement towards the center.
In conclusion, Nate Silver's revised election model depicts a growing likelihood of a Trump victory, with Harris's lead diminishing in the Electoral College. Silver emphasizes the potential impact of Harris's debate performance, the challenge she faces in addressing perceptions of liberalism, and the potential hurdles she may encounter in swing states like Michigan and Pennsylvania.
