Despite the media-manufactured momentum Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is receiving, CNN had to tell their viewers that former President Donald Trump is still not only in the race but could win in November.

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten broke down the realities of the 2024 presidential race, warning Harris’ supporters not to “rip open the champagne bottle” because the battle is far from over. The latest New York Times/Siena College poll puts Harris up over Trump in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. These swing states are must-wins for both candidates looking to win the White House on Nov. 5.

However, Enten told viewers it’s important to remember that Trump beat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 when all the polls “underestimated” his support. (ROOKE: Conservatives’ Worst Election Nightmare Confirmed)

“I just want to take a step back and sort of point out we’ve kind of been here before. So, August 13th, how far were the polls off in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin? And this is in 2016 and 2020. Trump was [under]estimated both times around and by significant margins,” Enten said. “Take a look here. In 2016, the average poll in those states that I mentioned, those Great Lake battleground states, Trump was underestimated by nine points on average at this point in 2016. How about 2020? It wasn’t a one-off. Look at this. He was underestimated by five points on average. And of course, Kamala Harris’s advantage in those New York Times/Siena College polls were four points in each of these key battleground states, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.”

Enten pointed out, “Enthusiasm is not the same thing as going out to actually vote.” When he looked at voters who said they were sure they’d show up to the polls on Nov. 5, the picture didn’t look as positive for Harris. In May 2024, when President Joe Biden was still running, 62% of Democrat voters said they were certain they would vote at the polls in November. That number has dropped a point, with Harris leading the ticket. (ROOKE: Kamala’s Record Rears Its Ugly Head After She’s Caught Stealing From Trump)

The opposite is true for Trump. In May 2024, 58% of Republican voters said they were confident about showing up to vote. Now, 6o% of Republicans say they will actually cast a vote in November. (ROOKE: Vance Proved Why He’s Trump’s Greatest Wingman)

“The bottom line is this … If you’re a Kamala Harris fan and you want to rip open the champagne bottle, pop that cork, do not do it. Donald Trump is very much in this race,” Enten told viewers. “If we have a polling shift like we’ve seen in prior years, from now until the final result, Donald Trump would actually win. I’m not saying that’s going to happen, but I am saying that he is very much in this ball game based upon where he is right now. And compare that to where he was in prior years.”

The entire campaign rests on Republican voters feeling overwhelmed by the headlines of her “massive rallies” and celebrity endorsements. They want Republicans to feel demoralized so that voting feels futile. Americans can’t let that happen. Every time another poll finds Harris leading Trump, use it as fuel to vote. Whether you vote early, by mail, or on election day, it doesn’t matter. Have a plan and get it done. (ROOKE: Dems Running Voting Scheme Founded By Kamala Staffer In Swing State)

This race is far from over.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
