One expert took a look at the Electoral College map and came up with a surprising conclusion on Wednesday.
What he found will be a huge shock to Democrats on Nov. 3.
While mainstream media polling shows Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden with a large lead in the final week of the campaign, that won’t hold out.
In fact, President Donald Trump is in a better position than he was in 2016.
Trump will win in a landslide, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told Fox News. Mainstream media pollsters don’t understand the change in dynamics since Trump became a politician.
“He has a better likelihood than he did at this stage in 2016 when he was clearly behind and closing rapidly,” Gingrich told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “The people I trust the most, the pollsters that have been the most accurate over the last 5 or 6 years who seem to understand the dynamics of the age of Trump.”
“I saw today the first electoral college map that made sense to me and it showed Trump at 326 electoral votes,” the former House Speaker said. “I think that is probably about right. I think the left is going to be terribly shocked.”
It won’t be an ideology that wins over voters for Trump. It will be psychology, Gingrich predicted.
“I actually think …, it comes down to something which is psychological, not ideological. In the end, as you watched these 2 candidates campaigning, I think it’s coming down to sort of a bunny rabbit hiding in a basement protected by the news media,” Gingrich said of Biden. “And a bear who is wandering around on the stage courageously without fear.”
Voters will be drawn to Trump’s courage in a divided country and uncertain world.
“If you think the world is dangerous, whether the dangers are riots in Philadelphia or the dangers are the Chinese communists, you probably want a bear that is strong enough to defend you and not a bunny rabbit that has to be protected by the news media,” he said. “I think every day that Biden hides and Trump goes out and campaigns, the psychological message being driven to the American people is really deeper than just ideology or partisanship.”
“It says one guy has the guts, the willingness, the toughness to actually be out here, taking on things including Covid,” he continued. “The other guy is hiding, frightened, hoping the news media will save him… because he can’t possibly save himself.”
“I think that will sink in. I think that’s why you are seeing in virtually every poll I trust we’re seeing a steady drift towards Trump and away from the undecided and away from sort-of leaning towards Biden but not sold,” Gingrich said.
“My personal bet is it will lead to a surprising majority for Trump,”
