Four days ago Biden passed trump as the favorite to win in November and has been there ever since.
Until now, the one thing Trump supporters could and did repeat was their guy was ahead. That's no longer the case.
A quick check on PredictIt shows Biden is ahead of Trump and has been there for a while.
That chart is stale by a day. As I type, it is 54-47.
Bible-Toting Fiasco
Trump's bible toting fiasco was the impetus for the change.
Something Changed for the Better: Trump's Bubble Just Shattered

Clearly, some people are still in denial.
How do I know that?
Easy.
- It is not often four Republican Senators openly blast Trump.
- It is not often that only 2 Republican Senators defend Trump.
- It is not often retired admirals blast a sitting president
- It is not often an ex-Defense Secretary blasts a sitting president
- It is not often a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says "I Cannot Remain Silent."
- It is not often someone turns in their resignation to the current Defense Secretary, accusing the Secretary and Trump of "crossing the line".
Trump's supporters look the other way.
They fabricate excuses like the protest was not peaceful, besides "It was not teargas".
Amazing Lengths
Trump's supporters twist themselves in knots to avoid admitting he did anything wrong.
Regardless of denials something snapped.
I chimed in with the same message Trump is a Threat to the Constitution.
“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us,” Mattis writes. “We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership.
Trump's Disapproval Over Time
Trump's core support is about 36-38%.
These people will vote for Trump no matter what he does. But except for one brief moment at election time Trump cannot break the 45% approval line.
A quick check on the 538 Trump Tracker shows Trump is still at 41.6%.
This election will not be won nationally but at the state level. There, Trump continues to fall further and further begind.
