ABC/Washington Post national poll shows Biden up among registered voters, 53-43%.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/advantage-biden-risks-trump-disapproval-grows-poll/story?id=70962322

For what it's worth, 538 rates ABC/Washington Post as an A+ pollster (with a slight, 0.5 bias toward Democrats).

Some takeaways, according to the article: Biden is not necessarily popular, but Trump is unpopular. Moreover, the 53-43 number is for registered voters. The lead is just 51-46 when it is for those certain to vote.

Therefore, in my opinion, Biden may be leading, but if we want a landslide, something that defeats the philosophy of Trumpism and is what we have dreamed of for four years, it's going to depend on turnout. I believe the VP choice will have a role in enthusiasm. We also all have to do our part with volunteering and not taking ANYTHING for granted.

This type of thing pisses me off!

The country is sick and on fire but some can’t commit to voting out the GOP?

Especially in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida. North Carolina would be nice to have again too.

I'm also convinced we can turn Arizona blue if everyone turns out in November.

Turning Texas blue isn't such a strange thought either given the direction it's moved and what *some* polls have shown. A little more of a long shot, but we can do it IF WE GET OUR VOTERS OUT.
