NY Times Poll Has Biden up by 9% in Tipping Point State Pennsylvania

According to a number of different national polls, Biden is up in both states. Florida is tricky, though, and Democrats have been burned by the sunshine state on a number of occasions.

So the Biden campaign had to be happy on Monday to see the results of the most recent NY Times/Sienna poll. The survey showed Biden up by 9% in Pennsylvania.

The Democrat is now holding commanding polling advantages in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Trump narrowly won these 3 states in the 2016 election. If Biden holds the states won by Clinton in 2016 and wins these 3 states as well, he would win the election.

Elections expert Nate Silver explained that capturing these 3 states would also give Biden some breathing room if Trump is able to flip a state won by Democrats back in 2016. - PoliticusUSA

2. I would prefer the polls to be a bit Republican-skewed than Democratic-skewed.

I say that because I'm hopeful that people like Bloomberg are really motivated to pull out all stops at this time. There's nothing "safe" at all regardless of what polls say. A resounding NO must be issued in response to the fascist Trump moves.

heartened that there are a few Biden signs. I’d put one up but someone would key my car. These are nasty and angry trumpers.

None. Or someone is taking them down. I only see Biden/Harris signs. This is unlike any election I've seen up to this point, so one-sided.

“PRAY” sign and a big garden with “trump 2020” painted on the ground (in red, white and blue) instead of flowers. Doesn’t it make you want to vomit? It’s across from a house with trump signs. Yuk. The new people next door had a huge Bernie banner on their fence but idiots would drive by and yell at them.
