Fox News host Jesse Watters summed up Vice President Kamala Harris’ week as “terrible” on Wednesday before making a claim that didn’t hold up to the conservative network’s own polling numbers.
“OK, she had no bounce,” insisted Watters. “And she’s now down in all the battleground states.”
“That’s not true,” Tarlov interjected.
“RealClear, check it out, right now, in the break, I’ll prove you wrong.”
Harris was not “down in all the battleground states,” according to averages of national polls on RealClearPolitics, as she led Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin.
Fox News’ Bret Baier, in a special report less than an hour after Watters’ claim, shared a new post-convention poll by the network that shows Harris leading Trump in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada.
