there is a lot of shit going on Facebook. With microtargeting and AI, there are still a lot of people being fooled.

Those numbers are in line with other polls, give or take a few points. Also subsamples are subject to large margins of errors.

I mean it is sad but that is the reality. Even if they aren't racist they are basically saying I racism isn't a deal breaker as long as Trump owns the libtards. That is a horrible person.

The polls are rock solid. Consider national polls usually have a margin of +- 3% so if Biden was actually polling at say +7% then it would show up in polls as anything from +4% to 10%.

So even polls changing a bit from day to day may not mean any actual change in support.

The polls were all over the map in 2016 and with large percentages of undecideds. It is very likely if the election had been held two weeks early or maybe even two weeks later Clinton would have won.

Just ask Hillary Clinton.

That being said, the race has been remarkably stable and Trump can't win unless he makes up a lot of ground. I'm hoping that the debates put an end to any chance of a comeback.

Obama's relatively comfortable win over Romney was only 4%. 10% would be a historic blowout and we'd likely win all of the swing states and all of the toss-up Senate seats.
