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.

(38,687 posts)'The race between President Trump and Joe Biden is verging on a landslide. Thats not a word we use lightly.
Over the past month, Bidens lead over Trump has been both incredibly stable and unusually large. Amidst Trumps unpopular handling of the protests that followed the police killing of George Floyd, Bidens lead has hovered within a tight band of 8.9 to 9.6 percentage points since mid-June, according to FiveThirtyEights national polling average.

Looking good nationally.

(14,565 posts)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.
