RARE PHOTOS: Analyst polls underestimating harris - The Real Truth

A series of polls in recent weeks show Donald Trump opening up a narrow lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in key battleground states, but CNN analyst Harry Enten suggested that the former president's position might not be a strong as it looks. Rather than underestimating Trump's support for the third presidential election in a row, he said, they are more likely over-correcting in the other direction.

"What normally happens is the pollsters catch on, 'hey, we’re underestimating. We’re not taking into account some part of the electorate.' They make adjustments. And I think that helps to explain why we have never seen that the same party has been underestimated three times in a row in presidential elections, at least over the last 52 years," he said.
