Donny Deutsch Expresses ‘Worry’ Over ‘Troubling Numbers’ For Harris As Trump Usually Outperforms Polls

Television personality Donny Deutsch voiced concerns during a Thursday podcast about Vice President Kamala Harris’ current polling against former President Donald Trump, who typically exceeds his projected poll numbers.

A Tuesday Suffolk University poll found Harris leading Trump 76% to 12% among black voters, a narrower margin than President Joe Biden’s 2020 performance, where he secured 87% of the black vote. Deutsch, on “On Brand with Donny Deutsch,” said Harris’ trajectory is promising, but she needs to make more progress with nonwhite voters if she wants to defeat Trump in November.

“What I worry about the polls is they tend to under-deliver for Trump ’cause I think a lot of people are embarrassed to say they’re voting for him and secretly vote for him,” Deutsch said. “And there’s also some troubling numbers. Numbers are going in the right direction, but … she’s still underperforming versus what Biden did with people of color. She’s going in the right direction, but there’s still work to be done there.”

Deutsch and Democratic strategist James Carville sounded the alarm in June about men, particularly “Hispanic males,” ditching the Democratic Party.
