60. Remember that Trump's campaign and the GOP are flooding their polls everywhere

Their polls undersample Dems and Dem areas to give the false narrative that they're gaining ground. Ignore them and sites like Real Clear Politics and 538 that don't differentiate between legit and junk polls. It is just meant to demoralize us. Keep focused on getting Harris through to victory...we will do it.
