Trumps debate performance will not help him in that respect: the race was Bidens to lose before the debate, and it almost certainly will remain that way after the debate. As of Tuesday, the RealClearPolitics national polling average had Biden up by six points nationally, and FiveThirtyEight had Biden up by seven pointsa wider margin than any candidate has had at this point in a U.S. general election since Bill Clinton trounced Bob Dole, in 1996. And those polls were before the Times revelations about Trumps taxes. Even the setting of Tuesdays debate, at Case Western Reserve University, in Cleveland, Ohio, underscored Trumps political weakness. Four years ago, he won Ohio, a bastion of his white working-class supporters, by eight points. Hours before the debate, a new Fox News poll showed Biden leading Trump in Ohio by five points, and the Cook Political Report changed its rating for the state from leans Republican to toss up.

to give lower educated voters more weight, since they were underrepresented last time.

going to escalate to try to make people fear and run to trump. Ain't going to work, I see trump falling to 40% nationally or lower.
