With less than a month to go before Election Day, polling is a roller coaster.

Comedian and television personality Bill Maher is worried.

Pollster and political analyst Mark Halperin is worried.

“Kamala has trouble all over the map,” Halperin said during a news interview yesterday. “The polling is accurate. Trump is winning.”

CNN journalist Harry Enten is worried.

“Kamala is doing 6 points worse in polling than Biden in 2020,” Enten told CNN viewers this week.

The New York Times is worried, too.

Musk Is Going All In to Elect Trump,” groused the New York Times this weekend. “Elon Musk is planting himself in Pennsylvania, has brought his brain trust to help and may even knock on doors himself.”

Top election data analysts says Trump’s odds of winning have suddenly surged — but can’t explain why,” Katie Hawkinson fretted for the Independent on October 10, 2024. “A data scientist who constructed a model to predict who will win the 2024 presidential election says Donald Trump has surged ahead in the last week.”

Although former President Donald Trump has plenty of detractors, he is also gaining praise from some new quarters.
