“I think it’s close. I was wondering why all the media hasn’t been polling at all for the past six months, so what are we going to do with that money? We’re going to have a great Christmas party, right?” ?So this is a tied race, tied nationally, tied in battleground states,” Jennings said.
“I think some people who are undecided say that to pollsters because they want to seem insightful. But they certainly don’t know how they feel about Donald Trump. I also agree with Ashley, because she’s not that well known. I think some people are making up their minds,” Jennings added.
