New polls indicate that Harris is not leading Trump, and the campaign may face a concerning situation.
According to Halperin, in certain battleground states, Trump is predicted to maintain his lead.
Vice President Kamala Harris may not be leading former President Trump as mainstream polls suggest, and her electoral prospects may deteriorate further in the coming weeks, according to journalist Mark Halperin.
Halperin discussed new polling data on his media platform 2WAY, stating that Harris is not leading Trump in battleground states and predicted that she could be in a worse position than Biden was in those states before the presidential debate in June by mid-September.
According to Halperin, there are already public polls available, and more are on the way. Private polling suggests that nationally, in the battleground states, she is not leading.
The former NBC News journalist, who accurately predicted that President Biden would not run for president in 2024, stated that while Harris appears to be leading in swing state polls, her numbers are "within the margin of error."
He stated that some battleground states may see Donald Trump leading on this trajectory.
In a recent Planet Chronicle poll of Sun Belt Battleground states, Harris is leading Trump by one point in Arizona, two points in Georgia and Nevada, while Trump is ahead of Harris by one point in North Carolina.
It is difficult to determine if the Democratic candidate is actually ahead of Trump because the differences in their polling numbers are within Fox's sampling error range.
If Trump refines his anti-Harris message, he could potentially gain ground and surpass her in these states.
"Despite the outcome of the interview and debate, it is possible that by September, after the Trump campaign has targeted some of the weaknesses I suggested, they will be leading in all Sun Belt states."
The journalist pointed out that Harris could potentially fall behind Biden in battleground state polls, just as Trump could gain an advantage in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, putting him in a similar position to where Biden was before the debate, with only one path to 270 electoral votes.
He concluded that it would be a terrifying position for the Democratic Party to be in from mid-September until Election Day.
