I know. It’s probably 2016 PTSD. Like how could someone have watched everything that transpired in the last 3 1/2 years, and still have no strong opinions on where the country should head? |
Some interesting polls came in today on 538.com. Except for Georgia And Texas, it’s all mighty good news for the Dems.

Arizona is TERRIBLE news. They also show significant tightening in the senate race there. |
My bad. I meant to post only Senate races where Kelly is still up although yes it has tightened. Ariz. Oct 11-20, 2020 1,066 LV Morning Consult Kelly 48% McSally 44% |

Montana still too close to call on Senate. Went very strongly Trump in 2016 but his popularity slipped a ton.

Wow! That’s not good. |
Biden may not need Arizona if his polls hold. He has multiple paths to victory. But we do need that senate seat to flip, and that has been polling steadily mark Kelly’s way for months. |
So unsurprised. I have family out there, and they talk about McSally's "impressiveness" nonstop. (Their words, not mine.) |
This does not look like good news to me. Arizona, Georgia, Texas and maybe South Carolina numbers are sad for the Democrats. |
If Biden lose Arizona, Kelly lose the Senate race. Not looking too good. |
One thing I like about 538 is that it gives an idea of how much you should worry about each individual poll. In this case, not much. |
Monmouth had Kelly 8 points up. Another poll had him 11 points up. He is way up in the polls. You need to look at polling averages, not just look at one partisan poll that shows him 2 points up. |
+1. McSally is not well liked and I wouldn’t be surprised if she lost even if Biden still lost Arizona. But I think Biden and Kelly are both going to win it. |
If Kelly is all that popular why are the polls all over the map? |
