It looks like that CNN poll was an outlier.

for six battleground states. The winner of those six states wins the elector college count.
The spread for those six states is about 5-6% for Biden. That is within easy reach for Trump to overcome with his collection of dirty tricks.
DEMs must not sit on their hands. Work hard to grow the spread!

than ever to vote. I know that national polls are meaningless, but I wanted to post a poll that contradicts that CNN poll.
