If November’s election were held this week, polling averages suggest Joe Biden would sweep President Donald Trump in all six states Trump carried by less than five points in 2016: Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Biden is also running highly competitively in the four states Trump carried by five to 10 points last time: Georgia, Iowa, Ohio and Texas.
That would amount to a Biden landslide of a magnitude of between 334 and 413 electoral votes (270 are required to win). But to make matters even worse for Trump, his campaign’s early ad spending moves lack discipline. CONT.
