EVEN IF the polls underestimate the GOP Senate chances to HOLD the Senate, the Republicans STILL HOLD the Senate by the same 53-47 margin. Wow, that is what the Resident political analyst CNN Harry Enten said yesterday

Oh wow, how SAD Jim Brown and the other leftist Hopefuls here might be on Novem. 3rd.  

Although ALL the radical leftists and the NEW leftist Jim Brown (well, he's always been a leftist, he was just fibbing about it wink) are hoping beyond hope that the Republicans get beat and their Radical Socialist Democrats take over the House, the Senate, on their way to win the Presidency in 2028.

Hey maybe the Socialist Democrats can run Hilary Clinton again which would Make Russ Carroll's day!!!  smile

What I saw on the CNN website is that his most likely scenario prediction is a 67% chance that the Dems take both the house and the senate. So, I don't know what the OP thinks he saw or heard but that's what I saw and heard...

Upon checking, that's what he predicted:   
"CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said current polling suggests there’s a 67% chance Democrats will win both the House and Senate in the 2026 midterm elections."

"On the latest episode of “The Enten Scale,” released Sunday, Enten noted that the figure has jumped 15 percentage points in just two months."

Lol! Those are reposted from other sources and are a "what if the polls are wrong" scenarios but that's NOT what Enten's prediction actually is which is the most likely scenario being a 67% probability that the Dems take the house and the senate. 
Of course, all the farmers in the red states who want to continue to vote red and see red in their bank accounts may very well do so and that's one reason Enten is giving his estimated probability which really ought to be higher than it is...

Those videos are 100% CNN and Harry Enten's words, charts, and assertions.  Your statement is totally and completely irrelevant, therefore you have no point.


Are you accusing the MSN website of doctoring those videos??  

If not, then you statement there is MORE than irrelevant.

I'm not accusing MSN of "doctoring" anything and it's obvious these are snippets of what Enten said on CNN focused solely on a "what if" scenario of polls underpredicting GOP strength.  It's not all of what he said so it overlooks his actual prediction of his most likely scenario of a 67% that the Dems will take the house and the senate.
How obtuse can you be?

Now then, in the 2nd video Harry Enten CNN analyst pointed out that the poll he is referring to, has been INACCURATE 14 times out of the last 16 Predictions, and so his intimation is that it will once again be wrong.  

Therefore, his statement that the Dems have a 67% Chance of winning comes from What, a reasoned person would ask??

The answer is, that his statement that Dems have a 67% chance of winning comes from POLLING.  Harry Enten's OBSERVATIONS of the polls he was referring to caused him to State the FACTS of tha poll, which he accurately stated was Wrong 14 out of the last 16 times.  

Don't worry, as I wouldn't expect your brain to understand the logical implication that Harry Enten put forth.  smile

I'll let Harry Enten answer for himself:

Cherry-picking, quoting out of context, and nitpicking are three of Rich's favorite thickheadedness strategies. It's no surprise he's doing it here.
