CNN data analyst Harry Enten threw up another red flag for the Kamala Harris campaign this week when he noted the number of people who believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.
As Enten points out in the video below, there is some history on this topic and he looks at different election years where this was a factor.
FOX News reports:
Harris campaign is in ‘danger zone’ as Americans worry about country’s direction, says CNN data guruCNN 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.”You‘re very much in the danger zone when we‘re looking at that right track, wrong direction number, that’s where Democrats are right now,” the data reporter declared.Enten explained the predicament, noting both the historical average percentage of Americans who believe the country is on the right track when the incumbent party loses an election – 25% – and the average percentage in the same category when that party retains power via an election, which he revealed was 42%.He spelled out to viewers that the current 28% right track number is much closer to the rate that is present when the incumbent loses…Summarizing the data, he declared, “This to me is a bad sign for Kamala Harris’ campaign. The bottom line is it looks a lot more like a loser than it does like a winner when it comes to the country being on the right track.”

This NBC News report is from just a few days ago:
Two-thirds of voters say the country is on the wrong track ahead of the 2024 electionTwo in 3 voters say the country is on the “wrong track” as voters weigh whether Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump would be better able to change that less than two months from Election Day.The latest NBC News national poll finds 65% of registered voters surveyed this month say the country is on the wrong track, while 28% say it’s on the right track.The figure is one of the “warning signs” for Democrats ahead of November, said Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates, who conducted the poll along with GOP pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies.
This is precisely why Democrats and the media have been trying a paint a picture of Kamala Harris as new and not the incumbent.
