44. They know they're on track eliminate at least 5% of Biden votes. . .

That is why they are confident in states that are almost tied.

The polls assume those polled will be able to easily cast their vote and have that vote counted.

That assumption does not hold.

Unless Biden has a double-digit lead in a state, the state is at risk given how effectively they have been at erecting barriers that disproportionately stop Biden voters from casting their vote, disqualifying ballots from Biden strongholds, and intimidating voters in those strongholds with their threatening phone calls (and more direct intimidation on election day).
