Nate Silver calls Marist 'blue wall' polls 'reassuring' for Harris

Source: The Hill

Veteran pollster Nate Silver said Friday’s Marist poll bodes well for Vice President Harris’s campaign, with just days until the election.

Silver, the founder of ABC’s 538, took to social media to share his opinion, suggesting the lead in the three “blue wall” states that went for former President Trump in 2016 and flipped back to President Biden in 2020 could be encouraging for Harris.

“Reassuring polls for Harris in the sense that the race is likely to remain toss-up-ish,” he posted on the social platform X. “Unless the final NYT/Siena state polls all tilt in the same direction I guess.”

The Marist poll found the vice president is leading Trump by 3 points in Michigan and 2 points in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, an increase from similar Marist polls released in September.

And his "gut feeling" that Trump will win is an incredibly irresponsible public position from someone who is supposed to be using data to establish polling probabilities.

When Harris wins this one decidedly, which she will, Nate Silver's reputation as a polling data genius should end his career and he can go back to gambling, which I hope he is better at than political guessing.
