34. With 4,000 LV's and MOE of just 1-2%, the 2020 poll is definitely better news than the 2016

The worst thing about the 2020 poll is 7% undecided/third party, which is greater than Biden’s lead.

The 2016 poll was 2000 RV’s, so less predictive IMO.

Also, of all the post convention polls I’ve seen, this one has the tightest margin, and may be an outlier.
