Whelp another week has past. The updated moving average of polls now has Biden leading Trump by 9.5 percentage points, up from 8.1 percentage points this same time last week. Shocker. Especially if you've been following the news lately.

Seriously, it's almost like the president is trying to lose this election at this point.

Also, a hypothetical Democratic candidate for Congress gets 8.5 percentage points more than a hypothetical Republican candidate does now on a generic ballot according to the updated moving average, which is also up from a week ago, though by a smaller margin than Biden's lead over Trump. In other words, it is now very clear that it is Trump who is dragging down the Republican ticket, NOT the Republican ticket that is dragging down Trump.
