2+4=4.

People saw what they saw. They are not stupid.
The DHS specifically state white supremacists are the most significant domestic terrorist threat right now. I believe them over you.

Do you seriously think the right perpetrated more of the violence and destruction this summer? Simple yes or no?

What does that have to do with the post of mine that you quoted?

Yes, that is Republican Math as pointed out by someone else. Let me explain.

Take two issues, pretend to relate them, then draw wrong conclusions. Watch.

(2)Coronavirus + (4)Riots = (4)Riots

Now, if we actually change those numbers to create a linkage of importance...

(8,000,000) Coronavirus + (5,000) Riots = (5,000) Riots

That's how they lower the significance of 1 catastrophe by way of "whataboutism."

And now back on topic - let's look at Pennsylvania and rethink the thread title.

Thread title is Biden went from 7.3 to 3.8 in one week.

Let's take a step back from cherrypicking and look at where things were when the race got volatile. For the month of September, Trump and Biden had both mostly flatlined. Biden was at about 49% support. Trump at about 44.7%. It stayed like that for most of the month, with Biden holding a +4 to +4.3 advantage in PA polling.

After the SCOTUS vacancy, the first debate, the Trump COVID diagnosis and tax revelations, the race got shook up. Trump cratered to -7.8 and then he recovered some of that loss of support. At this point in time, Biden has been at +5 for the last 5 days. It would appear that if you examine something larger than just the temporary bounce from Trump's quadruple whammy in late September, for now, it appears it was a net positive for Biden. He seems to have gained about a point after all of this putting himself better positioned to win PA than before.

LOL!

Just as I said two weeks ago: Watch the polls drop to within a margin of error just before the election.

This is normal in close elections because undecided voters make their decision just prior to election day, making the polls closer. It's not due to some nefarious pollsters. 8% undecideds picking a choice will make the polls tighter than when 8% are undecided.
