Harris Campaign's David Plouffe: We Were Surprised Public Polls ‘Showed Us With Leads We Never Saw’ In Internal Polls
He described the first part of the race, "Biden-Trump 1.0," as "catastrophic," but when Harris took over they had some guarded optimism: "I don’t know how optimistic we were, but we thought, okay, this is tied, and if a couple of things break our way..." "I think it surprised people because there was these public polls that came out in late September, early October, showing us with leads that we never saw," he said. "It was just basically a race that in the battlegrounds was 46-47, 47-48." "We started behind. She was able to climb out. I think even after the debate, we might have gained, what, 0.5-1? It wasn’t a race that moved a lot." "When you think about our own internal analytics, you know, if you have Wisconsin at 47-47, or Pennsylvania 48-47 Trump, let’s say, which I think is where we had it at the end, you know, you’ve got to have undecideds break your way more than your opponents, and you’ve got to get a little benefit from turnout, which we weren’t able to do," he said.
