IMO, it may all come down to Pennsylvania (and Great Lakes states too)
Forget FL, GA, NC, OH and IA (and maybe AZ too). IMO, one has to add 5 points to the Repug poll numbers to account for those that stubbornly wont take pollsters calls but will go vote in November.
Given that, to win Biden must take the Great Lakes states AND PA, along with the more solidly blue states, to arrive at about 278 electoral votes.
Lose PA? The most likely chance for Biden is to ride Mark Kellys apparent coattails and win AZ. But that gets him only 269, throwing this into the House, where each state has one vote, and more state delegations are collectively majority-Repug than majority-Democratic. So Biden loses there.
Theres a reason why Biden chose to do his town hall in Philadelphia.

There is a blue wave happening here we did not see at all in 16. Or 18 for that matter.
