In the article:

Quote
The race remains a nine-point advantage for Biden over Trump when looking only at those voters extremely interested in the election (52-43 percent) and the former vice president has an eight-point edge in battleground states (48-40 percent).

However, Biden’s advantage grows to 25 points, 57-32 percent, in close counties (where Hillary Clinton and Trump were within 10 points in 2016).

What I think we're seeing is a rally-around-the-flag bump where some additional voters have decided Trump is doing an OK job with the virus crisis -- but they're still going to vote for Biden.

I recall them having Donnelly romping to an easy victory and McCaskill's race in a dead heat the week before the midterms.

So?  Every pollster misses sometimes.  Fox News has an overall very good track record.

Oh, another crappy Fox News poll. March 20-22, 2016 Fox News found Clinton up 11 over Trump. "But he wasn't the incumbent then" - I would respect that argument more if the undecided/other numbers were drastically less in this one. They aren't. 49-38 Clinton in 2016 and 49-40 Biden in this one. Says a lot people believe this one over the WaPo/ABC news one, which has little/no undecideds.

This is nonsense.  You're complaining that a poll EIGHT MONTHS before the 2016 election as being off.  Clinton probably would have won by a large margin if the election had been held at that time.  Do you think nothing changed in those eight months?
