[Today the Dems’ Big Lies are dropping faster than I can record them. Some major moves in the lamestream include the sudden silence of 1) reports on the progress of fighting C19, and 2) ignoring the historical and momentous progress toward lasting Mideast peace, Palestinian resolution, and thwarting Iran that President Trump’s foreign policies have achieved – not to mention the much-needed realignment of relations with Russia, China, and North Korea. And, of course, then there’s the robust health of our economy that has been able to weather the C19 lockdowns initiated by the states, and is now on a solid road to pre-C19 recovery. All of this must be kept from the nation’s sheeple. gjr]

Things are really looking grim for Trump. He’s got no bounce in the polls. Updated three times daily, this map tracks the electoral vote count for the 2020 presidential election based on polling. This is what it looks like:
Biden leads in delegates based on consensus polling 281-138.
There are 138 tossup delegates.
In order to win Trump needs to win ALL the tossups plus flip 24 delegates now favoring Biden.
He’s way ahead of Hillary at this stage in the election.
https://www.270towin.com/maps/biden-trump-polling-map
Comparison to Hillary at this stage. Biden is up 16 over Trump. Hillary at the same date was only up 7. Here’s a link
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/trump-vs-biden-favorability-ratings-2020-vs-2016/

Thank you Paul Emery.
I agree it looks bad for Trump, the man of the people. Looks almost impossible. The only consolation I have is:
1) I remember well you citing the same sources in mid-October 2016 saying Hillary has to win only 15 electoral votes to clinch it and Trump has to win all 120 of the up for grabs electoral votes.
2) Biden’s rapidly declining mental capacities have gone vertical…off the cliff. In other words, Trump is not Hillary and most certainly not a Dementia Joe.
Exit question: Will Biden say he has come down with COVID-19 to get out of the televised debates? Will he tell people to go to their phonographs to listen and learn more about his Campaign site? Ok, that’s two questions.
It looks like gloom and doom for Trump. You got his oxnards in the wringer now.

Then I apologize for naming the wrong source you followed in 2016. Was it 538 or something? I still haven’t glanced at the polling (besides reading the occasional polling headlines on different feeds) this time around. It’s after Labor Day so knock yourself out. Maybe I will garner some interest in October. This is your moment to shine. Will or lose, you will probably be within some margin of error when all is said and done, despite the rhetoric.
And to be fair, I usually do not open any of your links out of habit. Same with that wacko Roberta and Duh. At least I read usually half of what you actually pen, maybe less. Like a sentence or two, max. We will find our who won and who lost maybe by January of 2017.
Again, I apologize for getting saying you are using the same polling data you used in 2016. At least I got that part about you saying Hillary needs just 15 more votes to clinch it and Trump needs to pick up all 120 electoral college contested votes. Close enough for government work. 120 votes is a lot to pick up, flip. Low probability. reaches 1 in 4 chance to win or 3 in 10 chance, when I will know all is at peace in my soul

Honestly it’s more a matter of planning. If crazy people start running the country in addition to the corporate/government swamp, I’ve got to make a few decisions. As with anybody, my planning horizon shrinks every day.
I’ve got a long view in terms of mass behavior and politics. Humans have done things as counterproductive and potentially evil as the Blue Mob is up to now for some time. Even with all the troubles, living in 4th C. Rome had it’s own rewards in terms of an interesting time. The trick is to watch the battle from a distance.
