There are not many undecideds left compared to previous years (is my understanding) and if the polls are accurate then Trump needs them more than Biden. It's hard to see how any undecided voters could be swayed by Trump after that "debate". I do agree that Biden missed chances but I think anyone would struggle in that environment.

Harris is a very skilled debater and I think she will do well against Pence.

I think so too. I'd prefer to see Harris against Trump.

Not long to go now, and a lot has happened since I started the thread... do the folks who predicted an outright Trump victory still think so?

Yeah I think he will scrape by and win again.

It's down to these 8 states that decide the election.
Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

I am not entirely confident Trump will be able to keep PA, WI or MI, he promised them the world and under delivered and losing in the polls.

My prediction Biden takes back WI, MI and PA and eeks a win in.

The one thing I have noticed is that Trump spends far too much time denegrating his opponents. He loves to mud sling, put down, makes things personal.. rather than pushing what he might be able to offer.

I truly hope he fails in his attempts to be re-elected, and never succeeds in the future.

When do you reckon it will be declared? I'm thinking Friday.

Media will probably declare a winner sometime this week, but official certified results won't be available for a couple to few weeks depending on state.

I'll make my prediction for California, Biden wins!

Only 49 more states to go.

I feel comfortable declaring California for Biden, its not very likely Trump could win California.

It would be great if Trump got absolutely crushed tonight. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning and see his gracious defeat tweet.

Trust me 'gracious defeat' is not in his bag of tricks. If he loses (and I think we all hope he does) he will not be statesmanlike.

Just bunged in a yes vote there as I agree with Danny B.
His 4 years have been 100% disgusting beyond disgusting but there will be those that think that is just fine.
