At this point it seems so baked in - and the fact Trump usually out performs polls by a decent amount. It would take a serious turn of events….

MULTIPLE polls from a broad range of outlets showing Biden ahead by 5-6 points nationally and by mid-single digits in 3 out of the 4 (AZ, GA, PA, MI) -

The lefties quiet down on gaza

and the inflation numbers drop through the floor, interest rates go down (2 cuts would be nice) and gas prices go below $3.

Polls routinely finding Biden in the lead by at least 5-6 points nationally, which is what it takes both to survive Trump's Electoral College advantage and a likely polling error in Trump's favor.

I think Trump is going to win, but based on the polling from 2022 midterms and the 2024 GOP primaries, it appears just as likely that there could be a polling error in Biden's favor.

According to averages, if there is even an error 1.5 points in Biden’s favour he wins.

If he can get his approvals to average 45% or better, I’ll start getting nervous. He probably really needs to be north of 47%, but I’ll give him 45.

He’s going nowhere with JA stuck in the mid to upper 30s.

Polls improving.

perception of the economy drastically improving by September

Stellar debate performances that articulate a message the American people that isn't just "I'm not Trump." Give non-partisan Americans an idea of why you deserve a second term.

More public appearances. Less softball interviews.

If the Israel-Gaza War is over before September

Polls which look slightly better than they did in 2022, perhaps showing him a few points ahead in MI/PA/WI, and even or only narrowly behind in AZ/GA/NV. Note: Favored =/= Certain to win.

It really wouldn't take much. An across-the-board improvement of maybe 2-3 points nationally would do it, which is less than he's already improved since winter. Trump getting convicted of at least one felony count and a sustained ceasefire in Gaza would more than cover that ground, I expect.

- VP Harris is replaced by Gov. Roy Cooper in the next days or weeks
- Biden gets very sick in September
- Cooper is running the election campaign in September, October
- Biden wins the election but dies as expected some days or weeks later

Nothing.

Biden is in such a bad shape that I cannot understand who could vote for him, other than hardened partisans.

Anyone that does not want Donald Trump having a second term. I do not in any way, shape or form like Biden, nor do I consider myself a partisan. However, I will grudgingly vote for him in November because he is not DJT

- Consistent leads or ties in the battleground states.
- Minority and youth votes returning to normal at the polls.
- Another foreign conflict arises that Biden doesn't fumble, or Russia/Ukraine takes stage again.
