CNN Host Says Her Network’s Poll Has ‘Some Alarming Numbers’ For Harris

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar said her network’s Tuesday polling contains worrying data for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Harris is leading former President Donald Trump among black voters by 63% and 19% among Latino voters, according to a Tuesday CNN poll conducted by SSRS. Keilar, on “CNN News Central,” said Harris is striving to expand her advantage with “minority voters” because of Trump’s significant lead among white voters, prompting CNN political director David Chalian to note how much the vice president is lagging behind President Joe Biden’s 2020 exit polling with black and Hispanic voters.

“There are some alarming numbers in here for her if she is looking to … really edge out, he’s got such an advantage with white voters, she’s looking to broaden her support with minority voters,” Keilar said. “What is, what are you seeing here?”

“Obviously she has, according to our latest poll today, a 63 percentage point advantage with black voters versus Trump. That’s obviously huge. But look, Joe Biden had a 75 percentage point advantage in the 2020 exit poll,” Chalian answered. “So she’s not performing at the same level of margin as Joe Biden was four years ago when he was successful. Similar story among Latino voters, she has a healthy 19 percentage point advantage over Trump with Latino voters in our poll, but Joe Biden had a 33 point advantage.”
