CNN’s Harry Enten argued that while Biden had been through „arguably two of the worst weeks for a president running for reelection“ that he could recall, „he’s still within earshot of former President Donald Trump.“
However, on Tuesday, CNN’s John King reviewed the latest 2024 presidential race polling, and it’s everything that Democrats have feared, as it shows that Trump could potentially win in a decisive landslide.
“The state of the race on night two of the Republican convention is Donald Trump is leading in this race,” he began. „Significantly, if you look deep into the polling, he has a chance to build on it.”
King first looked back at the 2020 map before comparing it to the current map based on recent polling. It showed Trump winning the race with 272 Electoral College votes to Biden’s 225. That map still had Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin as toss-ups.
„If this map played out and the election were today and the map played out like this, even if the tossups went blue, Donald Trump would win the election,” King noted.
