The electoral map is tilting badly against Donald Trump right now

Amid the protests following the police killing of George Floyd and the ongoing fight against the coronavirus pandemic, something very important has been overlooked: President Donald Trump is now a decided underdog to reach the 270 electoral votes he needs to win a second term in the fall.

A series of polls in swing (and not-so-swing) states released Wednesday make this reality plain.

* A Fox News poll in Arizona shows Joe Biden leading Trump 46% to 42%

* A Fox News poll in Ohio put Biden at 45% to Trump's 43%

* A Fox News poll in Wisconsin had Biden at 49% and Trump at 40%.

* A Quinnipiac University poll in Texas had the race at Trump 44%, Biden 43%.

How bad are those numbers for Trump? To put a fine point on it: Really bad.

Not only did Clinton appear to have a lock on 270 EV, but there was also speculation that she'd be able to sweep not only swing states like Florida and Ohio, but even grab traditionally-red states such as Arizona and even Georgia.

We all saw how that panned out.

The "map" means nothing unless people opposed to Trump turn out in force to vote come November, especially in the swing states.
