Polls are ‘underestimating’ turnout for Kamala Harris, Allan Lichtman argues
Washington Examiner ^ | 10.17.2024 | Peter Cordi

Presidential historian Allan Lichtman believes the current polls showing Vice President Kamala Harris sliding against former President Donald Trump are “underestimating Democratic voting strength.”

During a Wednesday YouTube livestream, the American University professor, who has predicted Harris would beat Trump in November, suggested that reports of Democrats pulling ahead in mail-in voting in certain states bode well for them. However, Democrats already made up the majority of mail-in voters, and Republicans have reportedly increased their relative shares in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina.

“The polls in 2016 underestimated Republican voting strength,” Lichtman said. “It’s my view based on what I saw from 2022-2024 that the polls are now underestimating Democratic voting strength.”

Lichtman pointed to the special election to replace disgraced former House Republican George Santos in New York, noting “the Democrat outperformed the poll right before the election by seven points.”

Santos pled guilty to charges related to campaign fraud in August.

“Even if the polls are off by a point or two, the Democrats are going to do a point or two better than the polls — they will sweep Pennsylvania,” Lichtman declared.

LOL is that what they are running with now LOL PATHETIC..no one is afraid to say they are voting for Harris, they dont have to worry about threats to burn their house down, that is why Trump supporters dont answer the phone when pollsters call, or they lie about who they are voting for out of fear..Harris supporters dont have that kind of fear, so NO, no one is underestimating morons who vote for Harris

Lichtman still groveling because he correctly called 2016 for President Trump.

If the Democrats pull of their steal they can point to Lichtman and say.. but the “nostradamus” of elections said we were going to win and so we did. Why is it so shocking that we won ?

And he’s predicted a win by horizontal harris for months- so he needs to justify his call at this point.

Even before Trump, haven’t polls underestimated the Republican vote, even before Trump?

I have to admit that I would be too embarrassed to tell anyone that I was voting for Camela, even a pollster, so maybe he’s got something there.

Little Al must see Big Fani come to the rescue of the Voodoo Hoodoo. The fatass water buffalo just won’t let it go. She wants to be the savior of freeloaders.

In my experience, polls typically underestimate the GOP turnout.

Yeah, we are well aware of the thieving, cheating, Treason done by the Democrats. Well aware. We know full well what they have done stealing the last two elections, and destroying America in the process. They do it again at the peril of a French style revolution this time.
