I was looking for any political pundit who predicted Trump would win and found at least one

From November 3, 2024

Excerpts

Long gone is Harris’s early lead. According to RealClearPolitics’ average of national polling, she just fell behind Trump on Oct. 26 for the first time since early August. The RealClearPolitics’ average of battleground state polling also has her at a slight disadvantage, she trails in five of the seven individual swing states that will decide the presidency.

On Thursday, Trump’s lead in both the national and battleground averages was slightly higher. If all the polling averages translated into voting outcomes, she would lose the electoral college vote, 241-297. She entered this weekend needing to make up ground.

The upshot is that Harris is not simply seeing a lower level of support than Biden and Clinton this late in their respective campaigns, but that she could wind up reaping a lower percentage of that lower level of support, too.

Several trends are appearing late in this race, all of them currently running against Harris. Should they combine, it could unleash a perfect storm for Democrats.

1. the polling never made sense for what Trump was doing in the campaign-- he was so awful-- so a lot of us assumed

the polls were being jiggered to help trump somehow, and some polls supported that idea

2. Agreed - the polls were being created to influence Chump voters

... and they were everywhere ... constantly.

3. also elections in 2022 showed Dems being under-represented in polls, likely due to the Roe effect

but that apparently didn't show up here.
