it will be interesting to see if they come back to normal when Trump is not on the ballot. If you exclude elections when Trump was running (not just his race, but when he's on the ballot), polls have been pretty accurate overall. That said, do I trust these? No, not really.

It's going to be about who can get their side to show up.
