How Swing States Are Shaping Up in Final Full Week of 2020 Election

Summary from the AllSides News Team

As Election Day on Nov. 3 draws near, President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden compete to win several battleground states that could decide the election, including Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. All the states mentioned, some historically Democrat, voted for Trump in the 2016 election. RealClearPolitics' national polling average suggests Biden leads in all six states, though by a slim margin in some states such as Florida. Analysis from all sides of the political spectrum analyzed the current and projected swing state polls to predict the outcome of the election. Analysis from right-rated outlets tended to focus on similarities between this year's poll numbers and 2016's poll numbers; some highlighted a 2016 article from prominent pollster Nate Silver. Left-rated outlets tended to focus more prominent coverage on how the COVID-19 coronavirus' potential impact election outcomes and each candidate's campaign approach.
