While I believe polls are inaccurate and swayed, the fact that Trump has backpedaled on drilling in the Atlantic is concerning. Political maneuvering obviously, but I don't think it's going to benefit his re-election. Earlier there was a report of his intent to pump yearly $ into the Everglades restoration and Lake O runoff -- but the rest of the story is, that's been promised for decades and the sugar cane companies have been winning that battle for a long time - we've been down here 30 years and nothing has changed. Politicians keep making promises, but nothing gets done. Nothing more than political smoke and mirrors.
Dead even in Florida as Harris campaigns in key battleground state

With less than two months until Election Day on Nov. 3, Biden and the president are deadlocked at 48% among likely voters in Florida, according to an NBC News/Marist poll released on Tuesday.
The former vice president has a slight 1.2 point edge over the GOP White House incumbent, according to an average of all of the latest public opinion polls in Florida compiled by Real Clear Politics. Biden's advantage over Trump stood at 6.2 points in the Real Clear Politics average at the start of August.
With 29 electoral votes, Florida is the biggest of the battleground states that will likely decide who wins the November election. Trump narrowly edged out 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to carry the state four years ago. Then-President Barack Obama also won the state by razor-thin margins in 2008 and 2012...........
......The president was last in Florida on Tuesday, as he announced a decade-long ban on oil drilling in the Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. The move reverses the Trump administration’s earlier pledge to keep those waters open to oil exploration. Vice President Mike Pence has made a series of stops in Florida this summer...............
