FINAL CNN STATE POLLS: Biden MI+14%, WI+8%, NC+6%, AZ+4%, also PPP poll: FL +7%

This is the final round of state polling from CNN. Wisconsin and Michigan are off the table, that much appears clear. We are also doing very well with North Carolina and good with Arizona here.

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 won’t wn.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Who are likely voters haven’t 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 wouldn’t 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.

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.

they don’t 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 won’t 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 don’t rule out anything. I don’t plan on celebrating until it’s all over.

Election since the repukes began cheating. It didn’t 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 isn’t safe. FL has had a very high % of mail in ballots for years.
