“Polls present Biden trailing Trump in key battleground states and polling nicely behind your senate colleagues who’re working for reelection,” Tapper continued. “Take a look at this New York Occasions ballot from final month. Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin is up 9 factors in Wisconsin. Biden’s solely up two factors. Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey up 5 in Pennsylvania, Biden’s down three, Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego, working for Senate in Arizona, up 4, Biden down seven. Nevada, Senator Jacky Rosen up two years in Nevada, Biden’s down 12.”

“You might be glad in your colleagues, I’m positive, however Biden is underpolling all of them,” Tapper insisted.

There are a lot of polls in swing states that present Joe Biden has a small lead. That is going to be a detailed race. There’s little question about it. However what we have now constantly seen is that Democrats are outperforming polls as a result of we’re seeing a surge of turnout, particularly younger people who find themselves freaked out that Republicans led by Donald Trump are going to remove their proper to reproductive healthcare, are going to destroy our democracy.”
