The polls so far today are just more of the same

Solid in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, New Jersey, California
Losing Missouri

Only outliner I see is North Carolina down by 6, we might be losing NC but not by 6 points (1-3 max)

and I think you are going a little conservative on the increase, so I guess it will be higher.
