From Fox News: Political analyst Mark Halperin said this week that both Democrats and Republicans believe former President Trump’s chances of winning the election are looking strong after seeing recent private polling data.

Appearing on a livestream on his media platform 2WAY, Halperin said people on both sides of the political aisle familiar with the polls have told him they’ve seen Vice President Kamala Harris’ electoral prospects slip, and that they’re leaning towards a Trump victory being in the cards.

“In the conversations I’m having with Trump people and Democrats with data, they are extremely bullish on Trump’s chances in the last 48 hours. Extremely bullish,” Halperin said.

“Can you win a short campaign with an untested candidate? And what I’m telling you is happening in private polling is she’s got a problem now,” he said.

Halperin pointed to a recent New York Times poll showing that Harris is up over Trump by three points nationally, and then pivoted to a Wall Street Journal report on internal polling done by Democrat Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s re-election campaign showing that Harris is down by three points in Wisconsin.

He warned that Harris is also struggling in Pennsylvania, and said, “Without Pennsylvania, there are paths, but there aren’t many. There’s no path without Wisconsin.”

Halperin had a stern message for Democrats who have their heads in the sand. He said: “For you Harris people on here complaining that we’re talking about problems in the Harris campaign, you’re welcome to put your head in the sand about it. If you want to go watch MSNBC primetime and hear how great things are going for the Harris campaign, you’re welcome. But if you want to understand what’s actually happening, we’re here to tell you. I just saw some new private polling today, that’s very robust private polling, she’s in a lot of trouble.”

Halperin defended his position on social media. In one post he wrote, “Dear those Americans such as @JoyVBehar who can’t understand how @realDonaldTrump could possibly be competitive in this election: Watch 2 woman of color on @2waytvapp explain why they are Trump voters:”

Halperin has been hitting back at Democrats who are slamming him for his predictions.

“Speaking as a Democrat with data, this is dumb,” sneered Tom Bonier.

Halperin responded, “I’m pretty sure the pollsters doing these polls aren’t “dumb.” Where do you have all 7 battlegrounds currently and how does that compare to where you had them 2 weeks ago? I know you aren’t “dumb” so eager to hear.”

Bonier replied, “There’s a wealth of public polling out there that consistently undermines this notion. And yes, internals CAN be more accurate (but often are not). They are also, by definition, completely lacking in transparency, and subject to the spin of the source. All of which you know.”

Halperin pushed back, “I’m pretty sure the pollsters doing these polls aren’t “dumb.” Where do you have all 7 battlegrounds currently and how does that compare to where you had them 2 weeks ago? I know you aren’t “dumb” so eager to hear.”

Below are the results of a new Quinnipiac poll, showing Trump leading in Michigan and Wisconsin. Trump has also gained ground in Pennsylvania.
