Most polls show Biden leading among independent voters.
Remember, these numbers aggregate many states, which might skew the picture for electoral college purposes. CA, for example, is heavily Democratic and could deliver 2,000,000 more votes for Biden than trump. But a big win is no different than a close win for EC purposes.
What’s the takeaway:
This is one more sign that we can deliver a huge landslide this year.
But at the end of the day the only statistic that matters is EC numbers.
That, in turn, depends on votes cast.
So #VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
