Just kidding. I live here so my morning is already ruined 
I suppose there is one bright note in there:
Among likely voters who name a first-choice candidate, 67% say their minds are made up, while 29% say they can still be persuaded and 3% do not name a first-choice candidate.
Among Trump supporters, 76% say their minds are made up. Another 24% say they could still be persuaded.
Biden’s supporters are slightly more locked in, with 81% saying they are firm in their choice and 19% saying they could be persuaded.
Although the sample sizes are small, the number of supporters of other candidates who are not locked in is significant. Among Kennedy’s supporters, 82% say they could be persuaded. It’s 87% of Oliver’s supporters and 60% of those supporting someone else.

But overall it is still depressing.
