CNN's communications team issued a statement early Monday to clarify that the viral poll claiming Harris was leading Trump in Texas was entirely fabricated, stating, "This image is completely fabricated and manipulated and it never aired on any CNN platform." The post, which falsely claimed Harris was ahead 51.8% to Trump's 45.7%, gained traction on social media, prompting significant concern among users and the network alike.
As misinformation spread, CNN responded decisively to misinformation surfacing on social media, asserting control over the narrative by clarifying that there was no such poll, and reiterating the timings for Texas polls: "most polls in the state are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m." The fabricated post had led to speculative and inflammatory claims about election integrity in Texas.
