CNN’s Enten on Biden’s Incorrect Statements on Polls: ‘If You’re Going to Come into My Wheelhouse, You Better Have Your Facts Straight’

EXCERPT:

ENTEN: “And so I decided to go back and look, because Joe Biden‘s making a number of comments about the polls and that‘s my wheelhouse. That‘s my wheelhouse. And if you‘re going to come into my wheelhouse, you better have your facts straight. So, I looked at the last eight elections and said, 'Okay, did the polling leader at this particular point go on to win the election, or, in the case of Joe Biden, which is what Joe Biden is hoping for, was, in fact, the person who was trailing go on to win the election?' And what we found is, in fact, the poll leader at this point six out of eight times, six out of eight times, that's 75% of the time, has gone on to win the election. So it turns out that Joe Biden's statement that he made in that interview with BET simply put does not hold water. He is not — I don‘t want to say he‘s not being honest because he just may, in fact, not understand what the polling data, but the fact is Joe Biden‘s been making a number of statements, he made one in his press conference I believe last week, in which he essentially said, you know, presidents at this point, you know, a lot of them have been down, had worse numbers than I have either at this point or later on in the campaign, and then he kind of closed off. What he didn't tell you was presidents who have poll numbers like he does, they go on to lose. There is no president in modern American politics polling in which you had an approval rating south of 40%, like Joe Biden, and a disapproval rating north of 50%, like Joe Biden, who‘s gone on to win.”
