This unbiased article does a great job at explaining just how different Biden's lead is compared to Clinton's and why its so much more convincing for Biden.

Biden has closed gaps that Trump trounced Hillary in 4 years ago, with just about every single demographic.

Is that just according to Yougov polls though? The article makes it seem like that. Yougov has Biden at a bit above the average.

No RCP has a running average of all high quality national polls.

That doesn't necessarily mean they are using the average from the poll datas. The article gives the Yougov figure for Biden's national lead, which makes me thing that's where all the data for this particular article is coming from. Could be wrong, but the author is unclear and names no other source, nor do they state they're using an average.

It's not an exaggeration to say that that was the best speech of Joe Biden's political career. It wasn't a rousing "barn-burner" of a speech like we've come to expect from these convention acceptance speeches, but rather it was more like a kind of intimate fireside chat if you will...which just felt like more of a match for this painful moment in our history, and also more in-character for Joe. This is a time of tremendous stress, sadness, and anxiousness and Biden demonstrated sensitivity to where people are emotionally right now. To me, the part about ten minutes in where he speaks directly to those who have lost a loved one was particularly moving. I mean as someone who has lost every loved one who has been in my life up to this point in one sense or another, it made me a little teary-eyed to hear him describe the feeling of it and how he's learned to navigate those kinds of struggles through personal experience.

It is what it is.

You should know by now that in politics, all is forgiven as long as its a political advantage.  You forget how many people during the GOP came out slamming Trump only to be best buds once he got the nomination. All that stuff gets swept away once people start to line up politically with the winner.

I watched a few minutes of the RNC and its crazy how Trump is acting like he did a good job to combat COVID.

So does Cuomo, but people seem to be fine with that.

Based on what data have you decided that Cuomo did not do a good job?

Edit: Actually, let me not fall into this typical deflection tactic. If Cuomo indeed did not do a good job, that should be reflected the next time he is up for election. Same for Trump.
