I have looked closely at the polling and understand exactly where the Election currently stands and what it will take for either Biden or Trump to win. It now boils down to five States.
If Trump wins Georgia and Arizona (Trump is up 4% in Georgia and 5.4% in Arizona per the real clear politics average) Biden must win Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Period. That is the Election.
Right now, Trump is outside the margin of error in Arizona and Georgia. He is up 5.3% in Pennsylvania, again, outside the margin of error. Trump is up 2.6% in Wisconsin, and he is up .6% in Michigan. These two States are within the margin of error. Interestingly, Kamala Harris polls much worse in those rust belt States than Biden. If she becomes the Dem nominee the Election appears to be over. Biden must somehow draw an inside straight to win the Election as it currently stands.
Keep in mind, the National polling average is critically important because it shows where the overall Election is tilted. Trump is up 3% nationally, which means there is more momentum to Trump. For example, Biden was up 4% Nationally right before the Election and he easily won the popular vote. Hillary was up 2% Nationally right before the election and barely won the popular vote but lost the Election.
Bottom line: The Dems are not lying about this one thing. Their Election chances look poor right now. With Kamala they look even worse. Can Biden win? Sure, but like I said, he will need to draw an inside straight or somehow pull off some major cheating in those 3 Rust belt States.
