Gotta love those undecideds!!!!!!!  Not much to take way here other than Nevada is likely D

[redjohn]

Wish undecideds weren't so high. Good news for Biden, obviously.

Undecideds FTW!  The Ohio Poll is borderline useless and we already knew Nevada was safe D.

[wbrocks67]

OMG they really need to start pushing people. Come on.

Ohio at least, on margins, lines up what we're seeing elsewhere.

NV looks good for Biden considering polls underestimate Dems and their last was +4. Also, they had Heller winning in 2018.

As I think I said in the poll hype thread, Nevada's margin will likely be under ten, but it's a hard under-ten margin.

[Holmes]

I just knew their poll would show Nevada to the right of Arizona.

[ProgressiveModerate]

Why do all these NYT polls have double digit undecides?

[Xing]

So probably more like Biden +10 in NV, and Trump +2 in OH.

[forza nocta]

I cant even have fun with these NYT polls anymore because of these damn undecideds they have

I'd actually be a bit concerned about the polling in Nevada if it weren't for the fact that it operates as a machine politics state.

Biden has been up 5-6 consistently in a state that has seen Rs winning in polling in both 2016 and 2018...

Yes, exactly. Reid's Democratic machine out there really helps Democrats beat the polls reliably.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Push. The. Damn. Undecideds.

[Statilius the Epicurean]

Biden up 6 in a Nevada poll means he's up like 12 in real life, right?

[wbrocks67]

Nate Cohn and Nate Silver trying to make the case that these polls are good for Trump, despite the fact that Biden +1 in OH would literally be about a Biden +9/10 national lead.

ONLY ONE THING'S FOR CERTAIN: DON'T COUNT TRUMP OUT YET

[GeorgiaModerate]

They're making the case that they're *relatively* good for Trump compared to some of the other recent polls.  But Nate Cohn even made these points:

Now, I think these are two pretty good pollsters. But we're at the point where the 'good' news for the president is basically the old average, and that's generally a sign things have shifted.

A lot of you seem upset that I called these polls relatively good for Trump. But look, we're at a possible inflection point in this race. There are polls raising the possibility of a true landslide unseen in decades. It's quite important if/when good polls don't show that.

[ProudModerate2]

Nevada is out of the picture for trump in 2020.
OH looks to be moving to a toss-up status.

The only poll that doesn't show that is Wisconsin, where this is *one* poll with 13% undecided/other, which is frankly ridiculous. Ohio being Biden +1 is a 9-pt shift since 2016, right at the 538 average. And considering NV's polling history, a Dem being up 6 there is practically double digits.
