Recent polls from many key battleground states have the presidential race still tightly contested.
With November 5th on the horizon, 710 WOR’s Len Berman and Michael Riedel in the Morning spoke with Geoffrey Skelley, Senior Elections Analyst for ABC News and 538, to go over recent returns from polling around the country.
Skelley went over just how close this race is according to the numbers. “The core seven states that will probably decide this election have margins [of error] all between zero and two and a half percentage points,” Skelley told Berman and morning news anchor Larry Mendte, sitting in for Riedel.
Skelley says that with the imperfect polling system we have those numbers are too close to call. “There’s polling error, there’s a margin of error in surveys. Even when we put them together there’s just enough uncertainty there that none of these leads are large enough to go to the bank on.”
