President Trump is down in the polls, both nationally and in the bulk of the battleground states he would need to beat Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in November — but polling averages indicate that Trump may actually be in better shape in his race against Biden than he was at the same stage in his 2016 race against Hillary Clinton.
And some observers, including CNN anchor Jake Tapper, say they expect the 2020 race to tighten after the Republican National Convention (RNC) this week. While Tapper argued the convention presented a filtered and skewed view of Trump (of a president "not sending tweets that upset people"), he suggested it could help give the president an electoral bump. Other analysts came away with a similar prediction.
Trump's come-from-behind electoral win in 2016 took many by surprise despite the fact polls had tightened ahead of Election Day. While Trump was uniformly trailing, he was in many cases polling within the margin of error. That was not the case in late August of the 2016 race, when Clinton held a wide lead over Trump in battleground states like Wisconsin, where she led by more than 10 percentage points in late August. Now, Biden holds a 3.5 percentage point lead over Trump in Wisconsin in the RCP average, which registered its most recent polls on Sunday.

Summary: “It is our belief that Trump is trailing in the polls, although he could be winning.”

Ha! Yeah, that pretty much sums up this bit of deep analysis from the MSM.
Anomaly
Psst.
He doesn’t “trail” Biteme.
Trump has about 306 electoral votes locked up; MN and NH pretty well in his column; and NM, NV, ME and even VA now teetering.
Trump will win the popular vote.
“They don’t have a clue because everyone quit talking to pollsters.”
indeed ... and even stupider, they all pretend like their fake polls are actual reality; example:
“but polling averages indicate that Trump may actually be in better shape in his race against Biden than he was at the same stage in his 2016 race against Hillary Clinton.”
the reality of the above is simply that the fake polls had hillary ahead of trump even greater than the fake polls have biden ahead of trump ...
