A month ago, scepticism drove us to track Trump Favorable polls separately. Seems to be a good call now. Some of the content was written a month ago when we were speculating if Polls could go wrong again but most of the Polls are updated as of 3rd November. Thank you for visiting us! (November 3rd)

Read our latest article on all the legal cases filed by President Trump and the GOP. It is likely that President Trump will concede by the 30th of November assuming that the Georgia recount keeps the tallies as they are at the moment. Wisconsin is one state that could flip back to Trump if the courts invalidate some votes. 

So how did the polls do?

- Most Polls including the Pro-Trump polls under-estimated how well Trump would perform in Florida. The closest however was Trafalgar Group

- Michigan, No Poll got it right

- Wisconsin, No Poll got it right

- North Carolina, Ipsos and Morning Consult were the closest

- Pennsylvania, Poll that came closest was Swayable

We await final results for Penn and Arizona

2020 Election polls that are predicting a Trump win: The 2020 Presidential election has entered the final week of the campaign with Joe Biden ahead in the national polls by 6-7 percentage points. In 2016, most state polls got the election wrong and it is possible they will make the same mistake again. It is no surprise that former President Barack Obama implored voters to go out and vote as he warned that the election is quite close. 

Therefore, we track polls in battleground states that are predicting a Trump win.
