Trump's troubled reelection campaign

In the final days of the 2020 presidential campaign, things do not look good for President Trump. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads by 9.2 points nationally and by 5 points in the top battleground states, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average. More disturbing for Trump is that Biden is at or above 50% in eight of the nine most recent national surveys. The president is below 45% in the same number. The only recent poll that shows Biden winning less than half the national vote has Trump receiving just 40%.
The Trump campaign maintains that its internal polling shows the president tied or leading in the battleground states that will determine the winner in the Electoral College. The public polling tells a different story: Trump is as likely to lose Arizona, Georgia, or even Texas as he is to carry Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Michigan once again. A Biden landslide is by no means guaranteed, but it is possible.
