At the end of the day, why even look at polls when they totally failed in 2016?

Ya'll thinking Biden is ahead in these states is some good humor.

Biden is getting by based on name recognition. That's all.

With all that's going on in the US with Democrat ANTIFA and Democrat BLM, he's gonna get thumped pretty hard by Trump.

Buckle up.

Don't hurt yourself on the way down. Those thin limbs only support birdbrains.

Because that’s not true. A few states were widely off (WI, IA, OH) but most were within the margin of error. The nationwide vote was only off by 1.1%.

Real Clear Politics 2016 Final Prediction vs. Actual

National: RCP = Clinton +3.2 Actual Results Clinton +2.1 (error +1.1)
Florida: RCP = Clinton +0.2 Actual= Trump +1.2 {error + 1.0)
Pennsylvania: RCP = Clinton +1.9 Actual = Trump +0.7 (error + 2.6)
Michigan: RCP = Clinton + 3.4 Actual = Trump + 0.3 (error + 3.7)
Wisconsin: RCP= Clinton +6.5 Actual = Trump + 0.7 (error + 7.2%)
Ohio: RCP= Trump + 3.5 Actual = Trump +8.1 (error + 4.6)
Iowa: RCP = Trump + 3.0 Actual = Trump + 9.5 (error +6.5 )
North Carolina: RCP= Trump + 1.0 Actual = Trump + 3.7 (error +2.7)
Arizona: RCP = Trump +4.0% Actual = Trump + 3.5% (error +0.5)
Texas: RCP = Trump + 12% Actual= Trump + 9% (error + 3.0)
Nevada: RCP= Trump + 0.8 Actual= Clinton + 2.4 (error + 3.2)
New Hampshire: RCP = Clinton +0.6 Actual = Clinton + 0.3 (error +0.3)
Georgia: RCP = Trump +4.8 Actual= Trump +5.1% (error + 0.3)
Colorado: RCP = Clinton +2.9 Actual = Clinton + 4.9% (error + 2.0)

So, all these polls have adjusted to what they believe is a reflection of 2016 right ?

so Biden winning is far worse for you as a Republican, and you shouldnt be laughing.
