Mick Mulvaney warns of ‘political motivation’ of late polling

Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney has warned late polls should be taken with a “very large grain of salt” as both sides have a “politician motivation” to argue they are trending in their candidate’s direction. A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris leading Republican Donald Trump 47 per cent to 44 per cent. “I always take these late polling with a very large grain of salt,” Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia. “Both sides have a sort of political motivation to make the argument that they are trending in the right direction.” The United States presidential election will be held on Tuesday, November 5 in America.
