You could say the same about California and Schwarzengroper. To this day, I still don't know how that happened.

Does not bode well for Trump.

For Joe Biden to be close in deep red states Trump took by double digits in 2016, clearly shows that Trump's loyal base is NOT that loyal. We all know LOYALTY to Trump means the world to him. There are cracks in the wall. And that wall will come crumbling down.

COVID hasn't really hit there yet. Trump's numbers will get worse as it finally sinks in, say, around late October.

9. Biden's Polling Lead Is Big -- And Steady

'The race between President Trump and Joe Biden is verging on a landslide. That’s not a word we use lightly.

Over the past month, Biden’s lead over Trump has been both incredibly stable and unusually large. Amidst Trump’s unpopular handling of the protests that followed the police killing of George Floyd, Biden’s lead has hovered within a tight band of 8.9 to 9.6 percentage points since mid-June, according to FiveThirtyEight’s national polling average.

Looking good nationally.

Alaska is the worst polled state in the country. I have emphasized that since joining this site in 2002. The polling model is incompetent and always overstates the Democrat to absurd degree.

Nate Silver finally caught onto the trend in 2010, with a lengthy article. He also posted a related tweet today cautioning about Alaska polling overly favorable to the Democrat.
