Agreed, mostly, Tom. Except for polls. As you've probably guessed I have ZERO faith in polls. If they were by telephone - what was the percentage of hang-ups to the percentage of answers. How were the questions worded? yes/no or opinions? Was the poll conducted in all 50 States? How about DC?

If it was online - did the poll include begging for money? [Most online polls do ask for donations]
If it was door to door, which neighborhoods were selected and why? Was the poll conducted during normal working hours? weekdays? weekends? If the polling company is unwilling to answer these questions, why should I believe them?
I think, from past campaign experiences, that polls are purchased by people who want certain specified answers. The pollster then provides THOSE results. Who, in their right mind believes the trumpster is leading by even 1% over Biden. Trump has NEVER won the popular vote EVER, except in his own warped mind. Hillary, who for some unfathomable reason was disliked, beat Trump by some 2,000,000 votes, Biden beat him by almost 8,000,000 votes.
Yes, the electoral college does throw a monkey wrench into the mix. And the gerrymandering, especially in the Republican States plus illegal "purging" of the votes in Democratically leaning Districts places a steamroller on voting rights.
But I'm willing to bet Biden wins the popular vote, hands down. We will have to be very vigilant in the so-called swing States that rampant fraud does not occur - and I'm not talking about undocumented immigrants.
The point is that Republicans are telling them they're Democrats, then casting Republican positions; things are thus further fucked up beyond all recognition.
