Realizing that campaigns spend their money focusing on where they think they can win, a two or three point lean in one direction or another can direct where a campaign may go to be effective, or to waste its time. And with as many polls funded by right wing money as exist, I think the "tightness" of this election is not as close as we are being led to think that it is.

Check out where Harris and Democrats are spending their campaign haul that is not only signigicantly larger than Trumps, and has come from almost double the number of donors, which is a clear indicator of voter enthusiasm, but a sign that they see numbers telling them they can win in places they might not have thought reachable three or four months ago.

I think what we are seeing in the polls is the race between Biden and Trump that we had before Biden dropped out. That's the race the media wanted, and they're using a lot of the same data and information based on then, not now, especially to gauge turnout and voter enthusiasm. Republicans are resorting to tactics to try and steal the election, suppress the voter turnout and nullify ballots. What does that tell you?
