    If that were the case, Biden would still be in the race. But his swing state polls were not getting better.

      But that’s the point. This is a national poll, not polling in swing states. It’s encouraging, but not necessarily predictive of victory.

      It’s like telling someone who has more yards in a football game. Yards are a good indicator of success, but winners are decided on points. Some points might require fewer yards. Winning in Wyoming is like a field goal after the other team fumbles on their own 20. Republicans get a lot of those simply by being bigots.
