CNN Polls: Biden leads in Michigan and Wisconsin as campaign ends, with tighter races in Arizona and North Carolina
Former Vice President Joe Biden holds an advantage in the upper Midwest states of Wisconsin and Michigan, according to CNN Polls conducted by SSRS, but the race between Biden and President Donald Trump is tighter in the battlegrounds of Arizona and North Carolina.
Trump won all four of these states in 2016, and a loss on Tuesday in any of them would make his narrow path to 270 electoral votes more difficult.
The polls, conducted as the campaign comes to its close, show little movement in the presidential race compared with previous CNN polls in each state.
Expected wins in Michigan and Wisconsin and JUST a win in North Carolina, and Trump is done, even if he were to win Pennsylvania, which he wont wn.

(4,845 posts)I think Biden is leading but in a lot of the battleground states, it is close. Biden is still favored to win because he is on the offense way more than Trump.
I don't need to see more, other than the election night/week final result.

(44,973 posts)1 point here, 1 point there. But thankfully those are final there are not many polls left.

(9,952 posts)lot of the swing states. If you are countin Texas, Iowa, Ohio, sure. But I think MI, WI, MN, PE, NC are not so close. I think GE and AZ are close but ours from the consistent polls.
Claustrum
(4,845 posts)If Biden gets any of these, he will be president-elect. And I like the odds there.
The only reason I said it's close is because of 2016 PTSD and I fully know 2020 is not 2016, not by a long shot.

(9,952 posts)I want it just cause I have lots of family there and would do my heart good, but I love people's confidence here with TX the last 24 hours.

He just said Biden is likely running well above Beto's 2018 numbers by 40+% in some counties. I am guessing the district level polls give him some confidence that TX will at least be close.

(9,952 posts)My son is working for the Democratic Party there and a month ago, he was saying we wouldn't get it by 3 and that is still good for Texas, but now both he and I are saying believe it when we see it, but the possibility is there. Youth vote really is coming out.

(3,635 posts)I think they will allow it, as (iirc) they allowed the drive thru voting in other cases. If the courts disenfranchise these voters so close to an election it will be a national outrage, and I don't think Roberts wants that.

(703 posts)Who are likely voters havent been showing up as expected. Please call any friends and relatives and help them vote. I helped to Hispanic ladies today who told me their kids wouldnt help them.

If Trump wins PA and Biden picks up only MI/WI/NC, Trump still narrowly wins the EC. If we don't take PA, we need to win two out of NC/AZ/GA.

(1,102 posts)It is difficult to guess who will actually show up to vote and be "likely"
This time around, so many people who did not vote in 2016 and especially the under 29 constitute a big portion of the voter pool. Biden's lead is bigger than any LV poll.

(65,170 posts)I think it is close in FL but we take it by a point or 2. I hope we get FL or a state like GA or TX so we can really breathe easy.

(6,137 posts)they dont account for current issues with USPS, ballots arriving late, ballots strategically rejected for non matching signatures, not counting provisional ballots of those who find themselves to be off the rolls on election day, etc., voter intimidation by paramilitary groups which police wont touch, etc. There is every reason to believe we are dealing with far bigger voter suppression efforts than in 2016. We never had mail voting on a national scale like this. I dont rule out anything. I dont plan on celebrating until its all over.

(32,754 posts)Election since the repukes began cheating. It didnt stop us in 18. Their vote totals end up being hurt as well, and maybe even more with covid on an even more aggressive march.
Dotard has hurt his base in FL for sure with his nonsense about VBM isnt safe. FL has had a very high % of mail in ballots for years.
