Veteran polling analyst Matt Towery detailed Monday on Fox News a worrying trend for Democrats due to a rise in support for former President Donald Trump among voters in crucial swing states.
During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” Towery, who claims to have access to recent polls soon to be released to the public, reported a significant uptick in favor of the former president, not just in the usual hotspots but across almost every battleground state, including Michigan, Pennsylvania and Nevada.
“I’ve looked at polling that I’ve been privy to, and I’ll probably be public in the next few days. Trump is trending up in almost every single battleground state, almost every one,” Towery told Laura Ingraham when asked why Michigan Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin was concerned about the polling. “And when you ask the question, how are your neighbors going to vote? You have very shy Trump voters sometimes. Those numbers explode, and I’ve not seen this in ages. And you know me, I’m usually Mr. Doom and Gloom for the Republicans and Trump.”
WATCH:
While Towery is typically more pessimistic about Republican prospects, his current observations indicate a shift in public sentiment that spans beyond traditional strongholds.
“I am seeing a true shift in public sentiment, not just in Michigan and in Pennsylvania. I’m seeing it in Nevada, as a matter of fact, there’s been a turnaround there. The only problem child right now is Georgia, and that’s because the Republicans, you have two groups, traditionalist Republicans who go way back,” he continued. “They’re not feeling the groove with Trump right now. It’s the more new-come Republicans and those who live in the exurbs and down in those areas that were hit by this storm.”
Towery also touched on the recent severe storm that has wreaked havoc across the Southeast, particularly affecting Republican-dominated areas. “That storm affected Republican areas, and I’m just saying, demographically, all the way up, basically majority Republican other than Asheville. So what effect that’s gonna have on turnout? I have no earthly idea,” Towery added.
Experts suggest that Nevada’s shift toward Trump could significantly impact Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, despite the state’s modest six electoral votes. The unique economic and demographic factors in the swing state, which has consistently voted Democratic since 2008, might now tilt the balance in this tight race.
A New York Times and Siena College poll indicates a neck-and-neck race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in key swing states such as Michigan and Wisconsin. In Michigan, Harris leads Trump by a narrow margin of 48% to 47%, while in Wisconsin, her lead is slightly larger at 49% to 47%, according to the Saturday report from the NYT.
