Jake Tapper HUMILIATES Kamala, Reveals Brutal Internal Polling In Key States

CNN’s Jake Tapper shared insights from internal polling data indicating a challenging landscape for Vice President Kamala Harris in pivotal swing states as election season heats up. Despite public polls suggesting a tightening race, Tapper’s insights shed light on the tough challenges Harris is grappling with as she aims for a win.

On Monday Tapper took to X to discuss the latest findings from internal polls conducted by political parties. These polls, which are not typically released to the public, provide a granular look at voter sentiments across crucial “blue wall” states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. According to Tapper, the data suggests that the race is extremely competitive, with results hovering within the margin of error.

His nuanced view contrasted sharply with other public polling averages shared by figures like Chris Cillizza, which showed Harris slightly ahead in several swing states. “Latest WaPo polling averages in swing states. Clear movement to Harris but Trump still ahead in 4 of 7,” Cillizza wrote.

“Kamala Harris’s lead in national polls continues to grow and has now reached two percentage points. She is also expanding her lead in the Midwest, now ahead in Wisconsin by three points, Pennsylvania by two points and in Michigan by less than one point. While Donald Trump continues to lead in the Sun Belt states, Harris has significantly closed the gap,” The Washington Post wrote. “Donald Trump is leading in 4 of the 7 battleground states, but he’ll likely need to add another to get to 270 electoral votes.” However, each state is showing a typical polling margin of error around 3.5 points, meaning the outcomes could swing in any direction.

“Checked in with sources in MI, WI, and PA today, and all of them said the race is essentially tied — within the margin of error,” Tapper tweeted.

Further elucidating on the state-specific scenarios, Tapper noted, “In MI and WI, Harris is maybe up a point or two, PA she may be down a couple points, the sources I spoke to said. “She’s doing better than Biden was — though in PA she has lost ground with white men,” he added, pointing to a potential area of concern for the Harris campaign as they strategize on securing these critical electoral votes.

The CNN anchor stressed the credibility and depth of internal polling over public surveys, saying, “To be clear, this is not public polling info (WaPo, CNN, etc)…this is from internal political polling that to which parties and politicians have access. I understand skepticism about polling, but these internal polls tend to be more comprehensive and detailed.”

Political analysts often regard Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania as bellwethers for national sentiment, making the insights shared by Tapper particularly significant as both parties ramp up their electoral campaigns. While Harris may be making gains in certain areas, she faces significant challenges in others. As the election approaches, both parties are likely to intensify their efforts in these states, with the Harris campaign possibly needing to double down on outreach and engagement efforts, particularly among demographic groups where she is underperforming.
