CNN election guru warns Kamala Harris that her campaign looks ‘more like a loser’ in stunning 2024 forecast
Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is facing a historic problem, a CNN election guru said Friday, pointing out how few voters think the US is on the right track under her leadership.
The surprising admission came during a segment in which CNN journalist Harry Enten showed host John Berman a recent survey showing that only a small portion of respondents believe the US is on the right track.
“In terms of whether voters think we’re on the right track or the wrong track, I think this poses a problem for Kamala Harris’ campaign,” Enten said. “Only 28 percent of Americans think the US is on the right track.”
After analyzing the findings of the Cook Political Report investigation, the CNN journalist dropped a bombshell about Harris’ election chances: “The bottom line is, it looks a lot more like a loser than a winner.”
CNN journalist Harry Enten warned that Kamala Harris’ campaign has historically had poor numbers when it comes to whether voters think the country is on the right track
His analysis examined past voter sentiment leading up to successful presidential campaigns.
It showed that no presidential party has won a second term since at least 1980, yet so few Americans believe the country is on the right track.
“So there is no historical precedent for the White House Party winning another term in the White House when only 28 percent of the country thinks we are on the right track,” Enten told Berman.
“John, simply put: it would be historically unprecedented.”
Enten then explained that successful campaigns in the past have produced much higher numbers, indicating that voters believe the country is on the right track.

Republican presidential candidate, former President Donald Trump, speaks to reporters as he arrives at Augusta Regional Airport to visit areas affected by Hurricane Helene, Friday, Oct. 4, 2024, in Augusta, Georgia.
“Look across history, right – ’96, ’88, ’04, ’12, ’84 – in all of these cases, in all of these cases, way more than 28 percent thought the country was on the right track,” That’s what a CNN reporter said.
“Thirty-nine was the lowest in 1996. In ’84 we had an increase of over 47%. That was of course a blow to Ronald Reagan.’
And the indication that Harris’ campaign is struggling can also be seen in the latest election analysis from DailyMail.com.
A slew of recent surveys have shown that Donald Trump is leading in key battleground states.
When the data is processed through our DailyMail.com/JL Partners model, it shows that the former president wins in 56.7 percent of simulations.
It means Trump has a 13-point lead overall, up from just five points earlier this week.
To be clear, this is not something like a poll.
Instead, it shows the frequency with which Trump wins the Electoral College when our model searches all thousands of possible permutations of states using the latest available data (along with decades of election results combined with economic data).
