If the election were held today, I think Biden would win. He's doing better against Trump than Clinton was at this point in the race; Biden is even doing better than Obama did against Romney at this point. These charts illustrate this:

Note the above charts only count those states where the candidate has at least a 5 point lead in the polls, outside the margin of error.

I want Biden to win so we can make the White House normal again. Most Americans are tired of the constant chaos and circus that Trump has brought.

I want Trump to win because the Democrats have shown over the last 4 years that they are bitter losers that will do anything to attack and discredit someone they don't like. They have spread lies from the Russian Collusion nonsense to the impeachment debacle to the lie that Trump is dividing the country AND their media pushes the narratives.

It has been the Left that has divided the country by supporting the anarchist anitfa and BLM giving them space and encouragement to riot. Good people have lost their lives and everything they have worked for because the Democrats think they can blame it all on Trump.

Do we need to remind people that it was the Democrats that were no shows at Trumps inauguration. It was the Dems that have been screaming NOT my President and RESIST. It was Nancy Pelosi that tore up his state of the Union speech. Talk about dividing the country.

The Democrats are the real enemy here and given their reprehensible actions they do not deserve to win any election.





I think that Trump will win on election night but as the mail in votes are found in car trunks, on loading docks and behind dumpsters in key swing districts Biden will eventually be the winner and then Lord help us all..

It is amazing that they never did find Hillary's 30,000 missing Emails but there is little doubt the Demoncrats will be able to find just what they need to push Joe over the top.

Agree totally. Trump didn't divide the country, but the likes of Nancy Pelosi and other dems. They've done nothing but step in his way the whole term, but he got things done just the same and it ate them up.

It really scares me should Biden actually win.

Biden is doing worse in the swing state aggregate than Hillary at this point.

It doesn't matter. Biden has a 5-point or more lead in states that total 300+ electoral votes. Trump could win every swing state and still lose. Of course, that's assuming the election was held today and the polls are reasonably correct.

Sure it matters. The swing states are what will determine the election!

You might want to re-think that. What you can say, though, is that the website I linked to is overly optimistic that Biden has locked down 300+ EVs in states with a 5+ lead. I think he's sitting at around 280-290 in 5+ states myself, but it depends on which polls you choose and how you average them.

Why would I want to re-think that?

The swing states are what will decide the election. What needs to be "re-thought" about that?

I voted Trump/Trump. I honestly don't know who is going to win. I just know it will be a very close election. Possibly the closest in my lifetime.
