Pollwatch: We Are Near

Each week, OutKick updates you on the latest polls for the 2020 presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

Here are the most recent numbers via RealClear Politics:

With just two weeks left, polls aren't likely to shift significantly. The question remains: are they accurate?

For months, surveys have shown a strong lead for Joe Biden, and map projections have the Democratic nominee annihilating the incumbent Trump. FiveThirtyEight says Biden has an 88 in 100 chance to win.

Barring a collapse on the debate stage Thursday, expect Biden to go into election day as the clear favorite.

Rasmussen, however, indicates Trump's support is underestimated — with a 48% total approval. It's close, but Trump needs to flip that to 52-48 in his favor before Nov 3.

Is this 2016 all over again?

Four years ago, many voters didn't like either candidate. We heard a lot about "the lesser of two evils." Each report, real or bogus, swung minds. This year, stories only strengthen Americans' current positions.

The New York Post's bombshell on Hunter Biden and the New York Times' report on Trump's taxes mean more to voters who have long made up their minds than to undecideds.

"See? He doesn't pay taxes!" Biden voters yell.

"I told you! Joe and Hunter are crooked!" Trump supporters tweet before losing access to their accounts.

No impact.

15 short days to go.
