Nate Silver’s polling models have lost credibility, yet media still amplifies him—questionable choice.

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten noted on Friday that it would be unprecedented for Vice President Kamala Harris , representing the incumbent Democratic Party, to win the presidency considering so few Americans believe the country is on the “right track,” according to recent polling.

Enten pointed to polling showing that only 28% of Americans currently think America is on the right track and noted that this is close to the average rating when the party in power loses major elections.

Pollster Nate Silver said in his latest election forecast that the White House race between former President Trump and Vice President Harris is likely to remain a toss-up until Election Day, now less than a month away.

“I’ve never seen an election in which the forecast spent more time in the vicinity of 50/50, and I probably never will,” Silver wrote in his column published Tuesday.

He argued that there were a few instances where it seemed like the election was swinging in one direction, “but they proved to be false starts.”
