Not when the polls slide from essentially two months of double-digit leads

The only polls that shows it closer is Trafalgar and they are a shit poll.

Both of those statements are false. Trafalgar may be a biased pollster, but their results a regularly among the most accurate... and it's hardly the only poll showing a problem.

Emerson is down from +5 to +2 (essentially the same change over the same period of time)
Beacon (Fox) is down from +11 to +4 over two months
Franklin and Marshall College is down from +13 to +3 in their most recent poll
Insider Advantage and Phillips Academy have the race at either +2 or +3

If "in trouble" means "one of the handful of races that donors and volunteers should pay the most attention to" - they he's definitely in trouble.

There's no question that Fetterman is still favored (about 2-1), but that counts as "in trouble" in my book
