Kamala Harris has the entire media rooting for her.
That means Kamala Harris gets an early heads up on major issues percolating beneath the surface.
And CNN sounded the alarm on Kamala Harris’ bad problem in this key swing state.
CNN worries about black turnout in North Carolina
In the final week of a campaign, media outlets spit out their final polling numbers.
CNN showed the races in Georgia and North Carolina as tossups.
But political director David Chalian saw some trouble spots within the poll’s internals.
Chalian told viewers that Kamala Harris led independents by four points, the same margin as Joe Biden did in 2020.
But Biden lost North Carolina by about 70,000 votes.
That margin isn’t good enough for Kamala to win the state.
And to make matters even worse for Kamala, Chalian revealed that Kamala Harris led with black voters by just 59 points, a far lower margin than Joe Biden’s 77-point advantage over Trump with black voters.
“In North Carolina. Let’s look at these same groups here among independent voters. Harris has a four-point advantage over Trump in our poll. That’s where Biden was with independent voters in the exit polls in 2020. Right. Remember, he lost North Carolina in 2020 by a narrow margin. Black voters, 59 percentage point advantage,” Chalian stated.
“This is a huge potential warning sign. In the exit polls, Biden won the Black vote in North Carolina by 85 percentage points. Harris This is something she’s going to want to watch for in the closing days. And then you see the white non-college here,” Chalian added.
Kamala Harris’ math problems
If Kamala Harris isn’t offsetting her losses among black voters with independents, she will have a hard time flipping the state as Republicans aren’t going to crossover and vote for her in large numbers.
Turnout among black voters in both North Carolina and Georgia – two critical sun belt swing states – is down.
In Georgia, black turnout is below 28 percent.
In North Carolina, black turnout is lagging behind what Obama drove to the polls when he became the first Democrat since 1976 to carry the Tar Heel State.
The media in this election isn’t reporting the developments that happened on the campaign trail or trying to educate the public on the views of the candidates so they can make the most informed decision possible in the voting booth.
But in this election the press operated as a collective Democrat Party Super PAC.
A September analysis performed by the non-partisan Media Research Center found that 95 percent of the coverage of Donald Trump on ABC, NBC, and CBS was negative.
This wasn’t because Donald Trump ran a bad campaign or events moved against him.
It’s simply owed to the fact that the media threw its collective weight in the scale to defeat Donald Trump.
Polls show the public having record low trust in the media.
CNN didn’t run this segment about black voter turnout in North Carolina because they thought their poll was newsworthy.
CNN wanted Democrat voters to know there was a problem and to turnout and vote.
