Losing Wisconsin and New Hampshire to the toss-up column was a blow but it was compensated by the Biden team getting Florida from toss-up to lean blue. Biden maintains or increases his lead on almost all of the battleground states, being now up in Georgia and North Carolina with 3 and 2 points respectively.

THE ROAD TO 270: DONALD TRUMP

While he narrowly leads in Ohio and Iowa, Trump must take back Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, and Arizona and try to win at least one or two of the other remaining battleground states.
