3. Trump has a 25% base (racist, sexist, dumb fucks) that will not leave him

But everyday and by almost every minute his 2016 voters are either leaving him, Trump,
and or will vote for Biden or not vote at all.

6. 25% I can live with. I'd been thinking it was closer to 33%.

Not that it's good news 25% of Americans are idiots, but 25% is better than 33%, and some people actually believe it's in the low forties. So I'll take it!

BTW my question is will @ least some of the people in the coal fields of Appalachian leave Trump? The mines

5. The other aspects of this poll are wow!

Among 6 swing states trump won in 2016, he trails by 17 points, 52-35. That is crazy. 538 grades Abacus a B/C, so it's not without merit. For comparison, Pew research is a B/C rated poll.

This is all going in the right direction.

9. If the undecideds in this poll split the same as the decideds in the election

then Biden would get 58.3% of the popular vote. This would be the 13th greatest margin in 58 presidential elections.

and a poll will come out saying Biden by 7 and the media will go full throttle with Trump on the comeback trail, the race is tightening, Biden is losing momentum.

It’s like clockwork. Keep working, donating, and campaigning. No distractions.

14. Don't get your hopes too high. The race will tighten just prior to election day.
