New COOK POLITICAL Electoral College ratings put Biden over 270

[brooklynite]

This election is looking more like a Democratic tsunami than simply a Blue wave. President Trump, mired in some of the lowest job approval ratings of his presidency, is trailing Biden by significant margins in key battleground states like Pennsylvania (8 points), Michigan (9 points), and Wisconsin (9 points). He’s even running behind Biden in his firewall states of Florida and North Carolina.

We’ve made changes to our Electoral College ratings to reflect this reality.

Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska’s 2nd district move from Toss Up to Lean Democrat.

Maine, once in Lean Democrat, moves to the safer Likely Democratic category.

Georgia has joined Arizona, North Carolina and Florida in the Toss Up column, although, at this point, Biden would be slightly favored to win at least Arizona and Florida.

Maine’s 2nd district has moved from Likely Republican to a more competitive Lean Republican.

These moves alone push Biden over the 270 electoral vote threshold (to 279).

1. Putting everyone's children at risk should drive Trump's polling below zero

Is it really so hard for him to do just one decent thing - even as a disingenuous ploy for votes? He just can't muster one decent thing for this country, can he?

2. What an excellent question.

It is truly hard to believe that being faced with such horrid polling that they would as you say, do the right thing if only for a 'disingenuous ploy for votes'.

But, no.

It does give credence to the argument that he really doesn't want to win.
