The most accurate pollster during the 2020 election has put Donald Trump in the lead for the first time in this race.
The polling firm AtlasIntel which correctly predicted that Joe Biden wild best Trump is now giving Trump the edge only two weeks out from Election Day.

That might put the Electoral College at 323 for Trump and 215 for Harris. (270 are needed to win)

ELECTORAL COLLEGE PROJECTION
Based on these results, Trump currently has an advantage in the Electoral College, with 253 votes compared to 226 for Harris. The narrow margins in Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina leave 59 electoral votes still in play. pic.twitter.com/81MOlNJxkL

Anyway, of course we don’t know for sure. But so many polls are finally starting to trend toward Trump that it really is hard to say it can’t be real.
However, it is still all within the margin of error and is very close.
Don’t get complacent. Go vote for Trump.
