But I'm bookmarking this, so expect an "I told you so" comment in November.

One thing I will say though: Biden is ahead in most polls by 7-9 points. A elections get closer, the incumbent almost always picks up more votes. Trump losing another 11 to 13 points would be unheard of. And his base is not 35%, it's 43%. Overconfidence doesn't win elections. "60% +" I'd bet my life Biden won't get.
