    Sorry to be that guy but these were RV polls. LV (Likely Voters) polls filter for voters that are more likely to vote and those still favor Trump.

    Also Biden is underwater in almost every swing state poll. A handful of states are going to decide this thing. Biden needs to win these swing states like Michigan.

      No apologies needed! I think it’s important to note that RVs can’t even vote, anyway. Why would they even poll them!? I’m not aware of any state in the US where recreational vehicles are allowed a vote, since most people don’t even consider them to be human at this point. With the way this country is going, I highly doubt they’ll ever be recognized. RV suffrage now!

      This far out, registered voter polls are more predictive (although both are pretty garbage) they’ll converge in late July and then, after the conventions, likely voter polls pick away quickly.

        It’s stupid horserace polling, they have minimal value except maybe telling an incumbent President that he needs to put aside his arrogance and change course if he is serious about saving democracy.

          Nah, they’re extremely valuable to industry folks who can’t collude directly with campaigns.

          For the population at large they’re just entertainment for team-sports politics.
