CNN Data Guru Makes Bold Prediction in Must-Win MAGA Race
Key Points:
- CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten predicts that Democrat Troy Jackson currently has an advantage over Republican Susan Collins in the Maine Senate race due to President Donald Trump’s low approval ratings.
- A recent Marist University poll shows Jackson leading Collins by a narrow margin, with 49% of likely voters supporting Jackson and 47% backing Collins.
- Despite the polling, Enten acknowledges Collins’ long tenure and history of defying negative polls, suggesting Maine may be an exception.
- Enten highlights Trump’s historically poor approval rating, noting it is the worst for a president ahead of midterm elections in modern history, which could negatively impact Republican candidates like Collins.
