Is the Biden Campaign Running on False Hope? - Lemmy.World

I got a fundraising text the other day asking for help in North Carolina, suggesting Biden could flip it.

In my lifetime, NC has gone blue twice: Carter in 1976 and Obama in 2008. That’s it. Not even in 2012.

If that’s not false hope, I don’t know what is.

Current polling says Trump +2 to +3, as high as +7.

I told them to forget NC, he doesn’t need it, he needs PA, MI, WI.

PA, MI - waffling between Trump +2-3 and Biden +2-3 which is good to see, it might be switching to full Biden support now.

WI - I don’t even know anymore. Tied? Trump+1? Trump+8? All recent polling.

I have a bad feeling Biden won’t win PA. Friends and family there and anecdotal but it’s not looking good according to them.
If you want some counter anecdotal evidence, I live in PA, and in 2016/2020 there were Trump signs everywhere. I never really see them anymore.
This is from Central PA Altoona area.
That’s about as Trumpy of an area as it gets. I’m in Pittsburgh which is very blue, and still there were large amounts of Trump supporting pockets in the past compared to now.
