everything seems relatively stable. I mean, there are kind of minor moves in each direction,

but overall, things are relatively stable. Biden has been somewhere between 10 and 7 points in

the lead, really for probably six months, seven months at this point in the battlegrounds. You're starting to see a little bit of tightening in Pennsylvania. Biden is up to about a 3.5% real clear politics poll average lead in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is the key state, by the way, assuming that Trump wins the states that he needs to win in the south, meaning he wins Florida, he wins Georgia, he wins North Carolina. Let's say that he wins Arizona. Okay, let's say that he does all of that. He needs Pennsylvania, right? That is the state that he requires in order to win. Right now, it's about a four-point race in Pennsylvania. It seems like there's momentum for Trump in Pennsylvania. Seems like there's momentum for Trump in Florida as well. Now, I've been predicting for a while. I think that Trump is going to win Florida. In Georgia, there's new polling that suggests that Joe Biden is super competitive in Georgia. North

Carolina is within margin of error. The margin in Arizona seems to have dropped just a little bit

in Trump's favor. The latest polls in Arizona put Biden up somewhere between two points and

Susquehanna has Trump up one point in the last week. So all of these battleground states are extremely, extremely close. And it'll be fascinating to watch on election night because, after all, not all of these states are going to count ballots in the same way. If you have a really, really high count of absentee ballots or mail-in ballots, for example. Well, it takes a long time to count, though.

So if you have a close race and the mail-in ballots are still coming in,

we may not know for weeks what exactly happened in Arizona.

We may not know for months what happened in Pennsylvania.

In fact, the Supreme Court allowed longer deadlines for absentee ballots in Pennsylvania
