This poll of polls is updated daily and very reputable.
If you think about it, Trump should be wiping us out. Most Presidents get a big rally effect in a crisis, he has the money/social media advantage, he has the bully pulpit and can dominate a news cycle whenever he wants, he is corrupt and has corrupted the entire GOP who will stoop as low as low can go if need be, and yet he is losing, and these numbers have been very consistent and trending worse for Trump. We have avoided a protracted and divisive primary. You cant underestimate how important that is. Imagine if it were a tie and these two were going to blows right now. That would have been an epic disaster. Biden has done an outstanding job unifying the Party by engaging Bernie and the progressive wing into policy discussions. Campaigning during a pandemic will be a tremendous challenge and we need all hands on deck to seize media cycles away from Trump and counter his propaganda. We are winning, but lets play like we are behind.

(3,697 posts)Trump won WI - 07 by 21 freaking points in 2016. Dems lost it on Tuesday by 15. Who should be surprised at that outcome in a deep red district? I wasn't.
CA-25 had been in GOP hands for decades before Dems swiped it as part of the 2018 wave. Again, why the doom and gloom over losing a historically Red district in an off off cycle election. Maybe Dems can re-take CA-25 in Nov if we have another Blue wave. Absent that, it will probably remain in the GOP column.
A better barometer of the Dems position heading into the Nov election is the recent Supreme Court seat won in WI by a landslide in the most challenging of circumstances. Dems have every right to be optimistic in my opinion if we work hard and don't let doom and gloom settle in.
