I voted Clinton in 2016. As a matter of fact, I've voted Democrat my whole life.
I am an Independent and was strongly considering Biden earlier this year, just due to Trump fatigue of texting, the drama, the seemingly divisive communication style, and the nonstop flurry of activity that was not necessarily "presidential."
I liked Biden as a VP, and he seemed harmless and reasonable. But he didn't have the weight of the world on his shoulders like a president will have.
I heard Biden's videos and interview clips about the COVID-19 response and his plans, and I was pretty surprised how completely out of it Biden was. I could not believe the Democratic party had this guy in the mix. His mind is fading, and fast.
So I gave another hard look at Trump and started researching his accomplishments and his agenda, and everything about him.
It's all pretty impressive and Trump is a man of action. He is pretty socially liberal (on most topics) and a true Republican when it comes to the economy, foreign affairs and policy. I love the fact he's so pro-America.
Add in the fact that Trump is taking on the evil world of human and child trafficking, and I see that Trump is a good person, with good intentions for America. Trump donated $35 MILLION to trafficking victims. WOW, that says everything.
He's got my vote, and I'm telling friends and family who are on the fence about Biden.
Rather than start a new thread, here’s a comparison that Pew Research did between 2016 validated voters and Pew’s most recent poll of registered voters. Also attached is a link to an article by Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report on the comparison.
In many cases both Biden and Clinton are currently polling higher than Clinton and Trump did in 2016, because there is comparatively little third party voting preference this year. While Trump has gained some with black and especially Latino voters, Biden’s currently getting the larger share of the 2016 third party vote, gaining 5% over Hillary’s 48% while Trump support at 46% shows no change from 2016. What the Pew comparison doesn’t show that's crucial, is the variance in support from 2016 per key states.

It's pretty clear who Trump was making a play for at the Convention: Suburban women and black voters.
That could mean they feel they've lost some support among those groups.
I would interpret that as trying to insure a victory, as the (D's) losing even an extra 5-10% of the black vote would almost certainly sink them.
As to suburban women, I would think he should do better with them, because women want safety for their families, and Biden & Co represent chaos and leftist upheaval.
