By 10 no less… bettors usually don’t put their necks out and make fanboy bets so I count this as a good sign for now.
Interesting perspective, since it has swung 18 points the other direction. Trump now favored 53-45.

So I should put the over under for post world war 2 America at 8 months or so and consider the stock in 1880’s America as a rising asset?

Interesting graph from The New York Times/Siena poll… Trump has a 14-point lead among 2020 nonvoters. Biden leads by 2 among those who voted in 2020. This could be a flashing light for Trump if he can’t get these marginal folks to actually follow through.

I read that data very differently than you do. If that were to hold, Trump would probably win both the Electoral College and the popular vote.

The thing is they are least likely to vote. It's great to get extra support but if push comes to shove you want the folks with a track record in your column going in.

I think you're missing the bigger picture there. Per that graphic, Biden's support has fallen by about 2.5 points among those who voted last time around. If you take 2020 numbers and apply an across-the-board 2.5-point cut to Biden's margin of victory, then Trump wins Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin. Throw in even a tiny number of people from the did-not-vote group and you can add Michigan to that list.

My dad falls into this category. We had a lengthy discussion about it this weekend. He's not voting this time for any of the federal elections, only local. When we pushed him, he said he would vote Republican if forced to vote. He's in effect staying home.
There are no hot button issues except Abortion and Birth Control and guess who overwhelmingly wins those issues (by 60 - 70%)

So these are results that reflect a survey period of May 30 and 31. So half before and half after the verdict.

I am not buying that. The Virginia DC suburbs are still firmly blue. I think Biden wins the state by at least 5 points. Also YouGov is infiltrated with Russian bots.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

This represents a 2 point swing towards Biden and is our first poll taken entirely after the verdict.

Any chance BMW's thread from earlier saying that the only chance to beat Trump was to dump Biden was a panic thread on his part?
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.
