The mainstream media is one of the last remaining firewalls surrounding today’s Democratic Party. And perhaps no source is a better example than The New York Times.
But even the Old Gray Lady couldn’t deny the reality of its latest presidential poll.
According to the Daily Wire:
The Times and Siena College poll of 2,516 likely voters from October 20-23 found Harris and Trump tied at 48% as Americans remain pessimistic about the state of the country. The poll brought the RealClearPolitics average of the contest between Harris and Trump to a tie at 48.5%.
“The result, coming less than two weeks before Election Day, and as millions of Americans have already voted, is not encouraging for Ms. Harris,” the Times wrote of its most recent poll, adding, “[Democrats] have been looking to Ms. Harris to build a strong national lead as a sign that she would do well in such critical swing states as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.”
This and other polls showing a shift in Trump’s favor have spread widely via social media:

Election statisticians are also increasingly predicting a Trump victory next week.
As Newsweek reported:
Polls measure the popular vote. A candidate can win this, but still lose the election if they fail to secure 270 out of the 538 Electoral College votes, a number based on each state’s delegates in the Senate and House of Representatives. According to FiveThirtyEight’s Electoral College simulations of election outcomes, Trump would win the electoral college 54 times out of 100, while Harris would be victorious 45 times out of 100, as of Monday morning.
