With new polling showing Vice President Kamala Harris maintaining leads over Donald Trump in more than a handful of battleground states, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough singled out the New York Times for its NYT/Sienna polling that continually seems at odds with other polls — and is always bad for Vice President Kamala Harris.
After sharing new polling from Bloomberg News/Morning Consult that should concern Harris' opponent, Donald Trump, the "Morning Joe" host brought up the Times and its outlier polling.
"The trend lines have been in her direction," he told his co-hosts before continuing, "I don't mean to keep bringing this up, and maybe they're the only polling outfit that's right, but the trend lines have been in her direction. The New York Times/Siena poll will come out, and an entire shift of reporting will happen — it will."

"Overnight, people will say, 'Well, her post-convention bounce stopped' because the New York Times/Siena poll will do something that is always outside the margin," he added. " Again, it doesn't look like the momentum stopped, but a New York Times/Siena poll will come out and, for some reason — you know, the reporting has to be truthful."
"And the truthful reporting is that the New York Times/Siena poll is always outside the margin of error. The New York Times will run 16 articles on their New York Times/Siena poll. Then we will really be shocked when numbers like these come out because it'll show that, actually, the trend lines do continue in Kamala Harris' favor," he accused.
