CNN data guru sees 'bad sign' for Harris campaign as Americans worry about country's direction
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten noted on Friday that it would be unprecedented for Vice President Kamala Harris, representing the incumbent Democratic Party, to win the presidency considering so few Americans believe the country is on the "right track," according to recent polling.
Enten pointed to polling showing that only 28% of Americans currently think America is on the right track and noted that this is close to the average rating when the party in power loses major elections.
"You‘re very much in the danger zone when we‘re looking at that right track, wrong direction number, that’s where Democrats are right now," the data reporter declared.
Enten explained the predicament, noting both the historical average percentage of Americans who believe the country is on the right track when the incumbent party loses an election – 25% – and the average percentage in the same category when that party retains power via an election, which he revealed was 42%.
