I don't know what the new polls are going to say, but the last poll from Ohio that was released showed Biden up by 5. That's the good news. The bad news is it was Rasmussen, probably the LEAST reliable poll out there. But it's usually unreliable because it's so heavily Republican-biased (which is the good news again).

Living in Ohio, it can be very frustrating to see all the hillbillies and racists dragging this State down. We used to be one of the most reliably purple States in the nation. Now it's considered so red as to be almost not worth contesting anymore. I don't know how that happened, but it's embarrassing. I live in suburban Columbus, and see NOTHING BUT Biden signs wherever I go. I've literally seen a TOTAL of 6 Trump signs in my travels around Columbus (as opposed to well over 20 Biden signs, and about 40 Black Lives Matter signs--which, let's face it, are Biden signs). Yet the Trump supporters in my neighborhood are confident to the point of being cocky that not only will Trump win, but will win in a blowout (and trust me, they take every opportunity to remind us of that). I don't know where this confidence comes from, other than being wildly misinformed, because I watch the polls pretty closely, and if the polls were reversed, I'd be soiling my undergarments right now. There is NO good news for Trump or his supporters in ANY poll that I've seen. Maybe they're counting on the Russian hacking to be able to overcome the blue wave.

absolutely has an AZ poll coming out tomorrow. They had the approval ratings for it out today, but I didn't see anything in those numbers that would make me think the horserace poll would be very different from other AZ polling we have seen lately.

While that's bad for Trump, I don't know that it would warrant a tweet like that one just for a poll that has Trump down 4 or 5 in AZ. So either it's more than I'd expect or it's a different poll.
