Democrats Are Nervous Even With Polls Showing A Massive Landslide Presidential Win For Joe Biden
Biden is ahead in polls, early voting and cash on hand a week from Election Day. So why does everything feel so anxious and chaotic?
As we careen toward Election Day, as much as I want to listen to the data, I can't let myself stop obsessing over all of the unknowns that lurk between now and then.
By most tangible measures, former Vice President Joe Biden is in the final countdown to an electoral win, seeming to condemn President Donald Trump to a single term. National polling has been almost eerily consistent since Biden sewed up the Democratic nomination. As of Monday, the latest NBC News National Polling Average showed that Biden holds a 7.4 percentage-point lead over Trump — 51.3 percent to 43.9 percent.
National polls can be misleading, though — a fact that still lingers like a bruise on the amygdala from four years ago. Zooming in on the battleground states, though, the tightening we saw in Trump's race against Hillary Clinton just isn't at play here. In states that are necessities for Trump, it's hard to see the gaps closing. According to the RealClearPolitics average, we're seeing Biden up by 8.1 points in Michigan, by 5.4 points in Wisconsin and by 6.0 points in Minnesota. Those states — paired with Pennsylvania, where he's up 4.8 — are enough to push Biden over the edge if the rest of the map remains the same from 2016. Biden, in a bit of confidence that some might call hubristic, declared on Monday that he'd win all three Midwest must-wins.

My brother asked me on where do I get my intel on the mood of the US electorate. I gave him my list and I have listed it below:
The Trafalgar Group (Twitter feed). Their polls are showing President Trump in the lead in key battleground states.
IBD/TIPP Presidential Poll. Their poll is showing a 4.5% national lead for Joe Biden. But this lead is less than what Hillary Clinton had in 2016 at this point in the campaign.
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll (Rasmussen). Today's numbers .... 52% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-seven percent (47%) disapprove.
White House Watch (Rasmussen). Today's numbers .... Trump 48%, Biden 47%
