5. I hope you are right, but I sure wouldn't assume that. The polls indicate that trump

still leads on the economy, though that support has eroded since the pandemic.

It is a false assessment as you pointed out with the trade wars, and other economic policies, but it is a perception that has been perpetuated by the media, who have been very lazy in covering the details of the "economy" before the pandemic.

Trump and the republicans are hoping for a vaccine before the election, though it won't be available to the general public at the earliest until next year, and the backing of much of wall street, by pushing the propaganda that the Democrats will be bad for the economy.

The other risk, and it is a big one, is voter suppression. That is a make or break element in those critical swing states

Another thing that concerns me is that most of the polls are registered voters, not likely voters, and the election is still a long way off, and a lot can happen

We have to get the vote out, and encourage people to vote early where available, and ideally vote by mail
