NBC’s Steve Kornacki: ‘Put an asterisk on Wisconsin polls’

NBC Elections Analyst Steve Kornacki broke down the tight swing state polling that shows Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in a neck and neck race across 7 battleground states, with only Wisconsin being outside the margin of error in favor of Harris.

However, Kornacki cast doubt on if that’s really the case due to Wisconsin polling historically underestimating Trump, particularly due to the demographic makeup of the state.

“These are the voters the polls missed on in 2020, missed on in 2016 they undercounted Trump’s support with white voters. So when you see polls this fall, particularly in a state like Wisconsin, I think you have to put a bit of an asterisk next to it.”
