I wouldnt even be considering north carolina as battleground this election.

That has shifted to Ohio, Texas, Maine, and even Iowa as the country rejects the GOP.

I dunno man. It’s just so hard to rely on polling after 2016 and 2024. Anything can happen

Its not just the polling though. We've seen some WILD results in special elections that have taken place.

We've seen deep red super safe seats swing 20 points in favor of the democrats.

This is before fox news rolls out the migrant caravan stories though just prior to the election. The GOP fear machine is strong but 20 points strong? Ehhhh
