The poll makes no sense. For one thing, it shows Biden leading Trump by nearly 7 points in “the South”. Assuming “the South” consists of the eleven states of the Old Confederacy, Biden is leading in only one - Virginia. Trump would have wide leads of 15-20 percent each in Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, South Carolina and Alabama. This excludes Oklahoma, which is usually included in the Southern Region and which Trump should win by at least 30 points. By most accounts, he has the lead in Texas, a five percent lead in Georgia, and at worst is tied in Florida and North Carolina. That leaves VA to give Biden a 7 point lead out of all of this?? He would have to be running 50 points ahead in VA and as liberal as this state has become, his margin at best is 10 points, or only slightly above the average of 7 percent for the eleven states.

Considered Right-leaning by detractors - this company is heavily involved with global business relations and highlights the huge advantage for US tech companies to import IT tech workers as a lower paid “resource” much as one may import steel, microchips, drugs, chemicals at the expense of US jobs.
Maybe in 2016 they did not think Trump would take his America First Doctrine as far as he did or that maybe “something” might happen to him after the election?
If Biden was leading Trump by 3 in Texas, Donald Trump would be camped out in Texas, instead of Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and New Hampshire.
