If there was some feeling over the last couple of weeks that Donald Trump was moving in the right direction electorally, we now have more empirical evidence to back that up.
ABC News has released their latest state polling and the President has now taken the lead in two key states, pointing to a race that is tightening and moving in Trumps direction as Joe Biden continues to hide in his basement most days.
Biden still leads Trump with support among registered hispanic voters in the states a voting group w/ a diversity of opinions.
In Florida, his 13-point lead trails the 27 point lead @HillaryClinton had in 2016
In Arizona, Biden leads 61%-34% among Hispanic registered voters

Theres obviously a lot of moving parts when it comes to an election ultimately decided by the electoral college. The response from Democrats to this will be that Biden doesnt need Florida and Arizona. Yet, that eschews how connected everything ultimately is. If Trump wins Florida by 3 points, hes going to be a clear favorite to snag one or two of the former blue wall states he took from Hillary in 2016. Theres not much of a scenario where Trump wins with that margin in Florida but cant pull Wisconsin or Pennsylvania.
Arizona was also a state Democrats were really banking on to cement a Biden victory. It has been trending blue for a while. But if Trump is able to hold on there again, its a very good sign for possible shifts happening elsewhere.
Another thing to note here is that Trump is far outpacing Joe Biden with Hispanic voters compared to Hillary Clinton. Weve seen hints of that in other polls and this newest offering undergirds that notion. If Trump over-performs 2016 with Hispanics by 5-10 points, that could swing the election in his favor. We are also seeing reports of sky-high voter registration among non-college-educated whites in the midwest. Thats a demographic that heavily favors Trump. In other words, there are a lot of factors lining up here for a photo finish, and all of the recent news is bad news for Biden.
Ill note that the former VP has been calling lids (i.e. no more press access) on his campaign early in the morning a lot lately. It sure seems like his handlers are having to keep him inside because hes having good and bad days mentally. Theres little other explanation for a presidential candidate who refuses to campaign, and when he does, he often shows up hours late. Something is going on the voters deserve to know about it. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris hasnt answered questions in 42 days of being the VP nominee for Biden. Thats incredibly unusual.
Biden is floundering right now, and while I suspect Democrats have plenty to unleash in October, Trump has made up most of the ground he needed to make up to be competitive in November. Now, he just needs to remain disciplined, which hes done a great job of lately, and finish this out. Bidens playing prevent-defense against a top offense. That doesnt usually work out well.

I’m certain the Senate report, released today, on Joe Biden’s crime family activities will certainly hasten things along...
Hardest working and most productive President EVER.
And has kept his promises.
Trump was always in the Lead , Joe was never in this Race ,LOL
No, these corrupt polls are not empirical evidence.
Still seeing more Trump bumper stickers. :)
If Trump loses we riot. Bet they wont call that peaceful.
Arizona had best get McSally elected. We need the best Senate majority possible, just in case (Second Amendment).
But But the commie media keeps on asking him if he will have a peaceful transfer of power..why should he, he’s NOT going to lose! The only way he loses is with massive and I mean MASSIVE mail in voter fraud
“In Florida, his 13-point lead trails the 27 point lead @HillaryClinton had in 2016”

Heh. 27 point lead, giggle.
Is that more honest than usual ABC poll an attempt to prod Biden to campaign? I can’t figure out why they would publish something closer to the truth. This is weird.
PDJT has been keeping many of his promises and those he has not kept are mostly due to Democrappic obstructionism.
and the Democrat street riots and arson fires are scaring a lot of normally D voters away from the D ticket
Yup...Trump needs to put some time in there & carry her across the finish line.
Keep the good news coming!!
FOUR MORE YEARS!!
Maybe they realize they are in trouble and they’re trying to get out the vote.
I beat the Socialist!
Today MSM/DNC is celebrating 200,000 Covid deaths. The Trump lied people died narrative is going non stop now. At the same time CNBC and other rat hack outlets are running their Trump won’t step down after he loses crap. Maybe they saw these polls and getting in front of it.
