Following up his Washington Post analysis from Thursday, in which he claimed that “the midterms aren’t just a toss-up — they’re a mystery,” Pulitzer-winning columnist Eugene Robinson visited “Morning Joe” Friday to explain why even the most recent polling can’t really be trusted to show which party will take the House and Senate in November.
“It feels like a puff of wind could send this election really dramatically in either direction,” he told co-host Mika Brzezinski. “It could be a red wave, it could be a blue surprise.”
And with nearly two weeks to go before votes are cast in highly contested races like the senatorial campaigns out of Georgia and Pennsylvania, he emphasized that there’s plenty of time for that puff of wind to change.
