I very much like your prediction of 300 electoral votes. Please share any up-to-date sources you find reliable. The two sites I’ve long followed have turned very bleak over the last few weeks and even since the VP pick. (270ToWin and Election Betting Odds.) Seriously bringing me down.
I enjoyed reading your profile. :)

Every day there are new polls and new predictions -- some more Republican leaning, some more Democrat -- but they pretty much all come down to the 10 or so "swing states".
At the height of Trump-euphoria after the RNC, some polls had Trump winning not only those swing states but some previously considered likely blue-Democrat wins, including Virginia, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New Mexico and even Minnesota.
Doubtless that helped convinced Biden to submit to the palace-coup and switcheroo to Harris.

Now we are into a "Harris sugar high", claimed to last through the DNC in two weeks.
Now nearly all of the likely Democrat states are reported as returning to Harris and some of the swing states too.

But some of the reports seem odd as heck -- one showed Arizona flipping blue while Virginia goes red!
Some say Trump still wins all of the "Northern Blue Wall" (PA, MI, WI) while others say Harris wins some or all.
Given that, it could even come down to Nebraska's Omaha district, which some say is solid blue but others say no, it's going red this time.
Think about that -- maybe 100 voters in Omaha pick the next president! So nothing is certain, take nothing for granted.
Republicans have to work like they (we) are behind and have a good chance to catch up.
Anything else will deliver a loss in November, imho.

Thanks! I wrote that when I first signed up in 2004 and have not changed a word of it since.
Now it's a little out of date -- I'm 20 years older and last year moved to eastern PA, nearer my grown daughters, one of whom, coincidentally, is named Eve. ;-)

And a few years ago I changed my tag-line to now refer to DDG-134, named after a personal hero of mine.
It is currently reported as cutting metal at Bath Iron Works in Maine, no keel-laying ceremony yet scheduled, that I know of.
