Notice how Trump didn't mention the polls at the Tulsa CovidFest.

And the polls before that, had him leading by 13 and 16!
I always check the page where five thirty eight rates the pollster:

Trafalgar and Change Research are rated C-, which means not very reliable. TIPP is rated much better - A/B - and they have Biden up by 13.

I wonder if that will turn out like the rally.

Well, right now Trump is losing by 6.2 points in Florida. The convention is in Jacksonville, and just this afternoon, just down the road, St. Augustine voted to remove a Confederate obelisk from their public space. If you know anything about Florida, the further north you go, the more "southern" Florida gets.

I have no idea whether your Michigan polls are correct (and polls change), but Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan is one of the women being vetted as Biden's Vice Presidential running mate.

If the polls in Michigan show Biden slipping there, it might be because of the activists trying to get Biden to select a black woman instead, and that will not help him in Michigan.

They seem to hate her in Michigan.

Joe Biden's campaign said Monday that the former vice president will participate in the three previously announced fall debates with President Donald Trump and continued to criticize the Trump campaign's push for additional debates.

In a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, obtained by CNN and first reported by The Washington Post, Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon said Biden will face off with Trump in those debates already planned -- on September 29, October 15 and October 22.
Biden is taking a big risk by agreeing to show up for debates.

The election may turn out like the Tulsa rally-- many people claiming they will go, but only a small fraction will show up.

I agree, it will be an even lower voter turnout than 2016.
