Cautiously optimistic here. 10% "don't know"/refused to answer provides a lot of possible swing.. nt Blasphemer Sep 2020 #3

Picking up an unexpected state or two could end up making all the difference in the world. It could make the election much harder for them to steal.

People who are fed up with Trump are fed up, their line is in the sand. I worry that most of that 10% are really Conservatives who are balancing their disgust for an "unsavory" President (not an outright fascist authoritarian) with the communist Joe Biden who wants to remove Jesus from church. In the end, they will break for the cleric.

I mean would a moderate? Independent? Or even a "frustrated Democrat" not be read to boot the buffoon by this point?

Women are more likely to break for Biden.

Polls are showing a close race there. A good turnout could net a Democratic Senate seat plus the 6 electoral votes.

of 4.9%, I wouldn't get too excited about that poll. Frankly, 2016 taught me not to trust polls at all anymore, unless they show a really lopsided balance on a candidate or issue.

Those numbers already show a gap within the MOE.
While Biden ahead in Iowa is a nice surprise, I can't put too much stock in it when the "undecided" voter is >4x the lead.
