I am skeptical Biden is going to hang on to North Carolina.

There's about 23% left and Biden is barely at a 3% lead in the state. It'll be close but with how much Biden has lost since leading by roughly nine at 60%, I don't see it. That's a six-point loss from the time it took to count 17% of the vote.

Bur we'll see.

given that the absentee leans blue and same day leans red, comparatively.

I think it's gone too.

but I think his chances are equal to Trump's. I'm much more impressed by Ohio tonight, though, and winning Ohio would be a big deal. Trump needs Ohio, especially if he doesn't get Penn. If Biden builds a firewall in Ohio and sweeps the MI, WI, IL, and MN, Trump's got a very narrow path to victory.

but Ohio looks winnable, PA strikes me as a place we can take, and I'd be shocked if we lost WI and MI.

There's still AZ.

So I think low 300s is what it is looking like to me which is where I always thought this was going to be.

I have a feeling the trend is going to continue in the rust belt states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. We're way off when it comes to state-by-state polling.

Unless we win all the rust belts Trump is going to get re-elected. I think we can win PA, MI, and Wi but the “he’s a shitty guy” campaign isn’t working again.
