make the case to voters in Arizona and Nevada. As the newly cemented tickets continue to make their case to voters, the recent shakeups in the race have led to a reshuffling of the electoral math needed to weigh in. The cook political report is out with new ratings on the presidential race. >> In this new assessment, there are now six states and 77 electoral votes up for grabs. Let's talk about your analysis today. He wrote that things look a lot better for Democrats today than they did a few weeks ago. But trump is looking stronger now than he did in 2020. Explain that to us. What are you seeing? >> If you think about this from where we were when Joe Biden was in this race, if we think about this as a contest, a game, it was very lopsided. He was bought high-end from a significant number. Not just the national vote but those other states. Just in the time that Harris has been in the race, we have seen those numbers move pretty significantly. That means that the race is no longer as lopsided in trump's favor as it was in late July. That is why we are calling this race a tossup. >> What do they need to do to shift this race. >> The most support thing to talk about is what has happened since Harris got into the contest. When you think about where we were before that, think about Republicans as a football team. They had every number on the field. Now what has happened is the enthusiasm and energy and where she is campaigning in these battleground states means both teams have everybody on the field. They are evenly matched teams. There could be a fumble on one side that helps when. It is the battle to the find the ticket. They are not well known. Even the vice president is not well known. A lot of folks assumed since she was the vice president, she would come in with some baggage. Instead, we have seen her favorable numbers shift. She was much more tied to opinions then she is today. That is the good news for her. Republic tends are trying to fill in those gaps. Calling her dangerously liberal. Specifically on things like the border. But also police reform and her opinions on some issues where she turned to the left. For the next chance for her to tell her story, there are still Republicans try to make the case about who she would like. >> She is now seeing a bump over where president Biden was. What are the down ballot indications for this? We know Democrats aren't fighting to hang on. >> Remember when we were watching this dance. The number of candidates who started to come out, we started to see that ratchet up. In some of the states where voters knew that a decreased enthusiasm would mean that they would find fewer voters coming turning out. Their overall numbers have not changed. What has changed as they feel more confident that the voters they know are already for them and will show up. The voters who were for the senate candidates were not excited. So they may have stayed at home. We are seeing the impact of that. >> When we were at the Republican national convention and before that you had president Biden coming to the state of Wisconsin, some folks did not appear with him. They are more than happy to appear with him -- her now.
