Well, on first thought - if Change, which has been historically bullish on Trump, is now saying Biden +10 nationally, then you know that's huge.

State polls are still weird, but they've shifted towards Biden (glad they seemed to get their PA sample at least somewhat right I guess)

But Biden +7 in FL while only +3 in PA and +2 in MI (and +2 in NC) still doesn't jive.

State samples ouside of Florida are super small. Can’t really take them too seriously.

At least they got the PA Trump +4 out of the picture.  And RCP, to their credit, recorded the updated number--even though they are keeping the both Change Research readings in their averages.

Nice to see polling from several key states.  State polls closer than I expected considering what’s all happening ATM.  Not terrible, but definitely not good either

If Trump loses WI or PA he is finished, never mind AZ, NC and FL. Trump is done

Yep, your right.  He might as well go ahead and concede now.  Down 2-3 points in several battlegrounds is just too much to make up in 4+ months.

The sample sizes for FL and PA are really the only meaningful ones here. Everything else is too small - and tbh, even FL and PA seem like they should be switched at the very least.

He is behind by 7 in FL and or AZ, if he loses FL , with 29 EC votes it makes up WI and PA, that was my point. He has no way to win  even if he wins WI and PA. He is gonna lose FL, MI, CO, NV and VA which puts Biden at 270

Agreed.  Also this is a C- pollster according so 538 with a 1.1+ D bias.  All these results should obviously be taken with a large grain of salt

Really the only thing I take from the Change polls in general is the trendline, and this poll had Biden +3 overall not that long ago. So it just confirms what we're seeing elsewhere

not just in the poll below but generally speaking Biden seems to be gaining a lot of ground in the 3 states he was perceived to be weaker in (Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina) while losing ground in the 3 stronger ones (Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan).  Though Michigan recently had some very large leads for him as well.  But conversely, the Arizona and Pennsylvania trends seem real while the Florida and Wisconsin ones do too.

It’s basically impossible that Biden leads by 10 nationally, but by such tiny margins in swing states.

It would only be possible if he also collapses in deep red states.

Biden has some weak polling numbers - I expect him to lose AZ, NC, and FL. He has a chance at the Rust Belt. A Democrat should be doing much better than this [in a national crisis] and getting over 50% consistently to beat an incumbent president.

If you're gonna talk out of your ass, can you provide examples? I mean the last few Florida polls have had huge Biden leads, so much so that quite a few people here were even questioning it

Biden has a 10% national average according to 538 (8.5% according to RCP), and he's leading by 7 in FL in this poll, and by 11 in FL in another poll. Stop talking out of your ass.

If anything, Biden has a better chance of winning FL than WI/PA based on polls. Your statement is 100% not based on facts, and 100% based on feelings

Florida is inelastic and some of Biden's leads are within the MOE. On 538, he has some polling numbers under 50%. He can't win FL with 48% or 47% of the vote.

For example, a lot of the polls showing Biden with 50+ are small sample sizes while the larger ones show a competitive race.

National average is biased and inflated. If you look at the states that matter he needs to focus on the Rust Belt. Historically, Florida votes for incumbents and it's the president's home state so he is favored. I can cite additional reasons as well.

They arent polling the Senate races, that's why, AZ,,NC and MI would be more tilted towards Biden since Cunningham,  Kelly and Peter's are leading.  But, I will take the FL 7 poll, the race is basically over If Trump loses AZ, IA,, OH or FL

It's basically impossible that Change Research is right and everyone else is wrong.

First off, the "home state boost" doesn't really matter much especially in this case since Trump has only recently moved to FL and was never a politician or well known person from the state for a long time, like McCain with AZ, or Biden with PA. Also, FL, doesn't have a special affinity for incumbents, its just that incumbents usually win re-election. In 2004, Bush did better than in 2000, so it makes sense he won FL again. In 2012, Obama narrowly held onto the state that he won by a decent amount in 2008, and it narrrowed up. Trump barely won FL in 2016 by 1.2% in 2016, and there's a very good chance that he does worse than he did nationally in 2016, which automatically puts him at risk of losing FL. For refernce, it only voted 0.5 points to the right of PA, a state which the majority of people on this forum will flip bck to Biden. The state is at the very least competative for Biden, since he's leading Trump in pretty much every poll, some by a comfortable margin. "Gut feelings" are how you end up with very flawed forecasts because you avoid the data being presented.

Lol if the election was held today, based on polls, Biden would win with 334 EVs. How is that "weak polling numbers"?
