I wouldn't exactly claim 2% polling gains as a big victory, tbh.

I check fivethirtyeight and 270towin pretty often and it hasn't changed much in the last 6 months. Still dystopian.

Its preferable to the 5-pt lag he was suffering a month ago. But nothing to brag about. Hillary squandered a 10-pt lead in the month before the general election, as the media turned into a "Buttery Males" feeding frenzy.

"Buttery Males" is Lindsey Graham's favorite Gentleman's Club

I can provide 5 polls in May that show him with a lead of at least 2 points.

I can also provide 6 polls with Trump leading by the same amounts.

These kind of headlines also make people feel like their vote is more/less critical.

NoNoNoNoNo

Dont you see BIDEN is SKYROCKETING in the polls? He is SLAMMING TRUMP. SLAMMING him, real hard.

Trump is surely DEVASTATED. More and more voters will find him UNVIABLE.
