2020 US ELECTION BIDEN v TRUMP (September Electoral Map): The First Debate

Geekgod Review electoral map generated with the help of yapms.com. We cross-referenced available polls and election data (Emerson, Quinnipiac, Rasmussen among others) to come up with our electoral map, with studies of 2008, 2012, and 2016 electoral results; Obama-McCain, Obama-Romney, Clinton-Trump.

The lead of Vice President Joe Biden is narrowing as the electoral map stands 240-182 to Biden. Biden loses Michigan (16) and Florida (29) which are now back in the toss-up column. Donald Trump brings back Texas (38) in his column, a huge victory, but loses Iowa (6).

THE ROAD TO 270: JOE BIDEN

Democrat_Donkey(1) Biden’s lead on the battleground states is narrowing but not with a significant margin in most states. North Carolina is in a virtual tie, and Michigan dropped to single digit. His lead in Wisconsin is also dropping, a warning sign. He is still poised to win the majority of those states with less than a month until election. The good news is that he is leading +2 in Iowa after months of that state leaning red.

THE ROAD TO 270: DONALD TRUMP
