As the two newly-cemented tickets continue to make their case to voters, the recent shake-ups in the race have led to a reshuffling of the electoral math to win. The Cook Political Report is out with updated ratings for the presidential race, moving the three battleground states of Arizona, Georgia and Nevada from lean Republican to toss-up. Amna Nawaz discussed the latest with Amy Walter.

    The fact that it’s even a toss up is the craziest shit ever.

      some people really like it when a politician tells them that all of their fears are true, therefore all of their worst behaviors and impulses are justified.

      that’s Trump

      polls aren’t votes, but after everything that trump destroyed during his last administration, and all the things he promises to destroy in his next, for it be close, just goes to show how far we’ve fallen as a nation that values freedom and democracy.

      i am constantly disgusted.

    I know people are doom and gloom in the comments about “how can this even be a toss up?”, but you have to remember: Trump has been campaigning for this election for the last 4 years. Kamala became the Democratic candidate a little over two weeks ago and already has a several point lead. And things continue to trend in her favor.

    Don’t be discouraged. Keep doing what you’re doing. Maybe volunteer for the campaign efforts at your local DNC office. Nothing is going to change without people making it change.

    Even when things seem dark and grim and even though it’s hard, stay positive, because sitting in the darkness of pessimism isn’t going to solve the problem.

    Insane that we even have to ask, and also I’m not believing polls after what happened in 2016

      Polls were perfectly in line with the result of 2016

      When polls say that candidate X has a 51% chance of winning then it’s perfectly valid for the other candidate to win. Literally almost as likely. That’s what happened in 2016

        I remember seeing polls declaring Hilary had 90% chance of winning, everyone on TV was talking about it like she had it in the bag.
