I actually respect this more than you know.
Hope that bothers you.

Other polls confirm that one.
Swing states......
Biden holds stable lead in six swing states after debate, Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis, new poll finds
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/06/2020...diagnosis.html
Former Vice President Joe Biden holds a steady lead over President Trump in six swing states, according to a new CNBC/Change Research poll.
Most swing-state voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, and prefer Biden and Democrats to handle the outbreak.
A majority of voters have concerns about the president’s health following his Covid-19 diagnosis, and most think he did not take enough precautions to protect himself from exposure to the virus.
Biden has an advantage in every one of the six states, though he holds his smallest lead in North Carolina. Here is where the race stands in each state, including the change in Biden’s lead from two weeks ago:
Arizona: Biden 51%, Trump 45% (no change in lead)
Florida: Biden 50%, Trump 46% (+1)
Michigan: Biden 51%, Trump 43% (no change in lead)
North Carolina: Biden 49%, Trump 47% (no change in lead)
Pennsylvania: Biden 50%, Trump 46% (no change in lead)
Wisconsin: Biden 51%, Trump 44% (-2)
The poll surveyed 2,688 likely voters in the six states from Friday to Sunday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.89 percentage points

What were the sampling percentages with regard to Rep/Dem/Ind in each of these different polls? One can get the results they want by oversampling specific groups.
And when those sampling percentages differ significantly from the states involved and the number demographics of those who actually turn out to vote.........see what happened in 2016.

I don’t care. The fact that you care is all that matters.

You Trumpites, to use an apt expression, are "whistling through the graveyard".
All polls show Biden leading.
And putting states that were not until now doable for Dems, in play

real big debate tonight from 2 great debaters.
the president also says he is looking forward to next weeks debate against Biden. that should be a good one if it comes off because there will be more substance to it than the first one.

I am not sure Trump can actually debate, unless you consider debating bellowing and interrupting at every point. I have not seen him give a logical, well thought out argument yet. He is normally looking to turn the process into a circus, and he is excellent at that. It would be interesting to hear Trump discuss, in depth, some of the "great policies" his supporters always tout.
