Biden's national lead is trending back up at 538

Normally I wouldn't make an entire post about such things but with that bullshit Rasmussen poll out today showing Trump up by 1 point, I have seen a small number of people freaked out. If, for some reason you still think Rasmussen isn't total trash that has zero value, then take heart, Bidens national lead actually trended up on 538 today. He was hovering around +9 the last few days (still an absolutely amazing lead a week before the election) but now he is at +9.4. With a week to go until the election, Trump's deficit in the polls is actually increasing. No guarantees it will stay at 9.4 or keep rising but right here, right now, with only a week to go, our boy had another great day.

Trump can't question the elections, unless there is conflict and inconsistent data. So, now he can use Rasmussen to say, hey, the count should be closer.

I wish there was some way to analyze who they polled to get those numbers.

So it'll show a Biden lead and then he can crow about how accurate his polling outfit is. It's all a big dog and pony show.
