The polls have shown Donald Trump with an edge for eight straight months, but there’s a sign his advantage might not be quite as stable as it looks: His lead is built on gains among voters who aren’t paying close attention to politics, who don’t follow traditional news and who don’t regularly vote.

Disengaged voters on the periphery of the electorate are driving the polling results — and the story line — about the election.

    No one single poll is a tell all. But Biden is losing consistently over time in multiple polls in every battleground state by significant margins.

    It’s not looking good. It’s important to question methodologies and definitely okay to critique polls, but the trend is not looking good at all.

    I honestly don’t think the only candidate who can beat Trump is actually going to beat Trump.

    I live in a solid blue state. I’m not voting for Biden or Trump.

    But keeping your head in the sand saying lalalala none of the bad news polls are accurate is not really going to work.
