"Former President Donald Trump once again appears to be in the driver’s seat in this presidential election.

When looking strictly at the polls, Trump now has the edge in two states and the other five most closely watched states are toss-ups. At the end of August, Vice President Harris had leads large enough in three of the seven states for them to lean in her direction, according to an NPR analysis of polling averages at the time.

Now, Trump has taken over the lead in an average of the polls in the seven swing states for the first time since Harris got in the race."

Because Dems try to Price is Right fascists. By constantly reaching for conservative centrists they try to get as close to fashy as possible without going over

But with the things Trump has been saying, how can anyone with a shred of sanity even consider voting for him?

They don't follow politics, so they pretend both sides are the same, therefore everything is OK and they have no agency or responsibility.

Same morons who were shocked when he did the things he did during his first term, and will be shocked when he does them again like Susan Collins.

The polls are always underestimating GOP support whenever Trump is specifically on the ballot. Midterm polling is more accurate.

A 0~+1 Harris lead is almost certainly a +4 Trump lead...

Soooooooo "glad" to see we are going in the Reich direction here...
