Has Biden's lead come down over the Past Week?

[wbrocks67]

Biden has probably peaked, yes, and Trump will - sadly - make some sort of comeback after Labor Day when most people will tune into the race.

Why do people assume most people aren't already tuned in? Most people already know how they're gonna vote. It's not like years ago when politics didn't start heating up until Labor Day. It's happening around us every single day now.

Jobs report bump, Coronavirus slowing down, more testing.

CORONA SLOWING DOWN? Have you been paying attention?!

I wonder what it's like to live in an alternate reality.

DUDE.... The reason there are more confirmed cases is because they are increasing the testing, if anything, it's good that there are more confirmed, that means they can identify them and prevent them from spreading further. Look at the death rate, it's been decreasing.

Remember when people were predicting 3000 deaths on average every day in June?:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/05/04/coronavirus-update-us/

We have been over this so many times it hurts: New cases are rising faster than testing is increasing - hence the rising positive test rate - and deaths are a lagging indicator given that it takes time for the illness to progress to the point where it kills.

Is it just simple ignorance with some people here, or are they really on a campaign to spread false information without any regard as to how they are contributing to sickness/death (just to make trump "look better")?

As pandemic cases go up more people are rethinking if voting is worth the health risk.

That wouldn't influence polling

Vote by mail has minimal risk

Biden was always a 300 vote EC winner, 400 was too much anyways. But, in a time like this, voters are enthusiastic about voting, but political donations arent being being galvanized over. Voters want limits on campaign donations, as politicians take huge contributions and 100K in salaries and stimulus payments are still in flux

I think it's just noise.

It most certainly isn't a jobs bump for Trump. How would that even have been present in polls earlier in the week before the report came out?

I'd say the jobs report & stock market bump for Trump, coronavirus surge making them more likely to not vote.

[ProgressiveModerate]

His lead has pretty much stagnated at this point, and I expect it to stay like that for a while, as the virus plays out and hits different regions of the country. The job numbers do help Trump a bit, but even in May when the job numbers were good, they ended up helping Trump very little.

People think there’s been a dip? Seems the same to me.
