To me, it’s impossible to tell what final tallies will be - because we *know* their are GOP defections - in every state , we just don’t know by how much. I’m in CO, and T did not win in the urban counties or suburbs- were home to the woman who tried to have T removed from the ballot. These folks are not gonna “come home”. We have a libertarian faction that has been voting for T- he’s lost many of them - and the dictator talk is the nail in the coffin for them. What we also don’t know is how the “other” segment is voting , or 3rd party effect. I’m thinking a lot of Independents/other break for Harris. Interesting all in all - pathetic about the red wave polls - another indicator they’re in trouble

Trump's GOP support in 2016 and 2020 was at 88-91%. I think he will land around the same level, if not lower. But he is not going to get higher.

Can you please clarify how you see Harris winning one of. GA/NC/AZ "completely shuts down Trump's path to the white house"? None of those three have as many EC votes as PA, so if Harris wins one of GA/NC/AZ but loses PA with it's 19 EC votes, Trump still wins. Seems to me your assumption is only true if you assume Trump can't win PA + NV, which are both margin of error races in polling right now.

I checked your link, but it doesn't answer my question - I'd say it actually refutes your position as it shows both PA and NV as pure toss-ups. As your own map shows, Harris could win any one of AZ/GA/NC and still lose the election if Trump wins PA + NV - two states listed in your map as too close to call. Harris winning an one of AZ/GA/NC would allow her to lose MI or WI and still win, but if she loses PA with its 19 EC votes, it's more than any one of AZ/GA/NC can make up.
