10. The good news is that all of Trump's gains have come from growing his support - not Biden losing.

Biden was 48 in their last poll too.

But that means Biden hasn't done a good enough job growing his support and that is what absolutely killed Hillary late in 2016. Because there was a significant amount of undecideds, even though she led in a lot of these states, Trump grabbed pretty much all the undecided voters and with her being below 50%, it cost her some states.

When people talk about the silent Trump supporter - that's the silent Trump supporter. They don't say they're voting Biden, they just say they're undecided, even though they are decided. Those shy Trump supporters are starting to move to Trump. So, 5% not sure - if t hat trend continues, likely ends up with Trump winning Florida 50-48 or something.
