    That’s quite a leap. If you can analyze that deeply you’re in the wrong profession and should be a consultant for elections.
    What I’m pointing out is that Trump is losing in every state he needed in 2016. He’s also losing support in key constituencies that he needs to carry the states he won in the election.

    I don't think its a leap at all. In '16 Trump won numerous states that the polls had him losing. I wouldn't trust the polls for a second...assuming an incumbent will carry the states he won the first time out is a perfectly reasonable place to start a discussion.

    3 states. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Every other state polling was correct.

    The final polling average is almost exactly the same as the popular vote turned out.

    You guys like to say that the polling was wrong. Well, it was correct in 47 out of 50 states and the national polling was correct too.

    Why would you assume this? Right now he is losing in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Texas, Georgia and Ohio. Those are all states that he won. Here are the polling averages:
    Arizona - Biden 47, Trump 43
    Florida - Biden 48, Trump 42
    Michigan - Biden 48, Trump 41
    North Carolina - Biden 47, Trump 44
    Pennsylvania - Biden 49, Trump 41
    Wisconsin - Biden 48, Trump 41
    Texas - Biden 46, Trump 45
    Georgia - Biden 48, Trump 45
    Ohio - Biden 46, Trump 45
    As you can see, assuming that Trump will win every state he won in 2016 is a stretch.

    Also incorrect. If indeed Trump won every state that he won in 2016 (which is wishful at this point) except for Texas the count would be Biden 270 and Trump 268.

    This is all irrelevant since Biden would have received 270 electoral votes with the win in Texas.

    Now go ahead and tell me how the polling is all wrong and that Trump is going to win anyway.

    So, in your professional opinion if Trump loses it will be because he lost the election? Damn, now that's deep....LOL.

    I suspect the selling out of Goya products is a better indicator of the National election than polls at this point.

    And yet somehow the MSM was predicting better than a 90% chance that Hillary would win as the the East Coast polls were closing.
