The polls we are fed mean nothing. Look at 2016. Thank God the news doesn't run the vote counting.
The Democratic party has been hacked and backed by some big money (soros, gates probably many others). Intelligence agencies hacked. All news stations, newspapers hacked. It's only useful when you know it's (dis)info from the enemy. Thank God for the internet.
There is backlash though. Look at how bad the a NBA is tanking because of their highly politicized bs or how bad movies that try to shoehorn "diversity" or "social justice" into the script are doing. That's a real poll. And will tell you the majority of America is not at all what the news keeps telling us.

Trump was ahead in the polls before the year began. Our poll makeup is 50% democrat, 30% independent, and 20% republican or something very close to those figures. Either way, they over-represent for the democrat. The fact that Trump is closing in on, or ahead of Biden in the current polls is just an indication that he's 10, 15, maybe even 20 points ahead of Biden.
We saw the polls in 2016, and we saw the rallies from Trump. We heard the democrats tell us that rally size doesn't mean anything, then we saw Trump demolish Hillary in the only poll that counts. Now we'll hear it again from people who refuse to open their eyes, watch and see.
ETA: I should have guessed... The very first response claims rally sizes don't matter.

And they still haven’t learned a GD thing.

Here overseas we get a mixed message.
A show that Biden gets 90% of the coverage.
The Trump at his rallies have so many people attending.
How can that be when Biden can't even fill a small little YMCA Hall.
People may not know this but President Trump is really well-liked because they know he will defend our country if it comes down to it.

This is just my opinion, but I think there is no way that Trump will lose, unless cheating or foul play is involved. Why does the left not love their candidate as much as the right does? Why are these numbers so skewed? You can't tell me that there are less democrats that use social media.
I believe that if things are ran like they are supposed to be, then it will be a YUGE landslide by Trump.
**Note**
(Swap these numbers, and if Trump were to still win, I believe even Trumpers would say something is strange.)

I’d say — different types of people.
Some like loud flag waving rally’s — others don’t.
I don’t think his rallies are really much of a gauge.
I think people sense that the issue environment has changed in a way that *could* benefit Trump: crime/unrest is more salient; COVID less salient. I think that's plausible. Whether it's true, consequential, or lasting is all speculation
Nate, why is there a sense of desperation amongst D's today? The polls have barely moved, yet the betting markets have gone even. Why? Doesn't make sense to me.

I reckon that many people only follow trump so they can have a laugh at his tweets, over their morning coffee.
