4. Hillary was not this far ahead

14 points with less than 5 months to go is a massive lead. Hillary won the popular vote by 2.1%, but she was only 4-6 points ahead most of the Summer.

If there is a free and fair election, Biden wins in a landslide.

7. We should win almost every state* by double digits if there is anything close to a fair election

* Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Wyoming, and West Virginia are not included.

Utah might be in play because the Mormons hate Trump and N.D., S.D. Nebraska, Kansas,
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Montana will be tough on Trump because his idiot trade policies
have been a hammer to farmers.

8. The only thing Trump cares about is his polling numbers.

The lower they go, the more unhinged he will get. Which in turn leads to even lower numbers. He is too wedded to his delusion that he is the best pResident ever! A delicious, viscous cycle.

9. Yes and the people helping "to decorate" his chicken coop must be getting to him too.

Before the nominations were known, Hillary had a bigger lead, but that was like a year out. But she never got close to as big of a lead as Biden now has between Spring and the Election.

12. Seeing multiple double digit leads is very encouraging

I am cautiously optimistic that we won’t have to sweat this election out. Caution is the operative word, though. I don’t trust a country where Trump could get in the WH to begin with.

13. Good news, indeed.

Scoring WELL north of 50% is great, period. Donald Trump not only has to win over the undecideds, he has to then actively dissuade Biden voters. The only way he can do that is show that he's doing a good job as president. He has about five months to prove it.

Moreover, it's easy to dismiss national polls since the swing state polls are ultimately what's of interest, electorally speaking, but multiple polls showing him with double-digit national leads shows a trend and that the fundamentals an that lead to a victory are with Biden. Also, national poll of that lead means that states such as Arizona, Texas, and Georgia would be in play, instead of just the traditional Rust Belt swing states.
