Considering how important both states are for Trump these are disastrous results

Florida continues to be a tossup. Texas being a statistical tie is horrible for Trump.

Biden needs to be over 50 in Florida. Hopefully Bloomberg's spending pushes him over the top, since it will be really great if he wins there on election night.

It's certainly not impossible that Biden wins Texas, but my ultimate guess is that Trump wins by a Cruz 2018 margin, maybe slightly less. I know the Blue Texas cavalry is incoming, but it has been 26 years since a Democrat won statewide. I will believe it when I see it. Though this is certainly a terrible sign for Trump, and by no means is the state Safe R.

Seems like Trump has regained a little bit in Florida over recent weeks. Still think Biden is going to carry the state, but with less confidence than in July or August.

Texas continues to be a pure tossup. Trump will likely hold out by two or three points in the current environment, but things might change. Both polls are definitely not good for him. The Biden campaign should definitely spend big in Texas. If not for 38 electoral votes, but for downballot races.

TX is a tossup - it's hard to believe anyone saying otherwise at this point. Of course the media won't say it is since they want to push the "close race" narrative.

Biden down 22 with whites but not doing as poorly with Hispanics as other polls suggest seems much more realistic.

FL in pure tossup territory. I knew those margins like +7 weren't gonna hold. I will say this much though, it's still encouraging.

FL and TX both in Tossup territory is quite something. Party like it’s... 1992 (how fitting).

I can see this narrative push by the media working in our favor as long as it keeps everyone who hates Trump motivated to vote if they think it is going to be close (it won't be).

Fun fact, its still possible for the race to be "close" although not a tossup by any means but Texas also being a tossup.  All the swing states could literally vote within 5 points of each other !.

I agree (if we’re considering FL/TX/GA/NC/WI/MI/PA swing states), but this isn’t that uncommon, right? It already happened in 2012 (or almost, depending on whether you count NC as a swing state that year or not).

But yeah, 144 EV or more than 50% of the total EV needed to win voting within 5 points of each other would be quite something.

YouGov's indies R tilt continues... Trump is only winning Texas by 2 while simultaneously winning Indies by nearly 15%, which is... not likely.

Considering TX polls always underestimate Ds, the fact that nearly every poll has been within 2 pts one way or the other is disastrous for Trump

Interesting that this has Trump winning FL seniors by nearly 10% which hasn't really borne out in other polls. However, if Trump only wins them by 9 compared to 17 in 2016, he ain't winning FL

Texas is for Trump to lose more than for Biden to win... but Trump has little time in which to win people over in Florida. He has plenty of time in which to do something stupid that loses him Texas, though.

Further confirmation of Trump is surging in Florida while Biden holds steady everywhere else.  This basically has to be explained by something specific to Florida now.

He's only surging if you believed Biden was up 6-7% in Florida at some point. Which he wasn't.

What would take you to see Biden carrying Florida? Him leading by five or ten points? Com' on, he was never going to win by that much in the Sunshine state. This was always a nailbiter. Biden has been ahead in most polls for several months now. Just because previous senate and gubernatorial candidates failed to win despite slim polling leads doesn't mean it happens again this time. Of course, Trump could hold Florida, but saying Biden has no chance here is not backed up by any data.

Biden's chances of winning Texas are much better than Trump's are at winning Minnesota, but you won't hear the media talking about that. They want their horserace narrative to remain intact.

I still just don’t see Biden taking Florida.

You don't see any scenario that is anything other than disaster for Biden. We get it.

OK, sure, that's possible, but then why were the summer polls wrong in Florida and solid everywhere else?

I expect a heartbreakingly thin loss in Florida for Biden, and a slightly larger one in Texas.

If the 2016/18 polling errors continue, Trump could legit do better in Florida than Texas.
