Seriously ? I think Trump has taken a serious electoral hit and the damage is far from over
1) The current and spreading illnesses amongst his staff are undermining his campaign capacity. It seems extremely unlikely that he will be in any position to hold rallies or debates for a minimum of two weeks.
2) He has irrevocably lost any semblance of credibility with his response to COVID. His incapacity/unwillingness to protect himself, his staff and his supporters will cost him many conservative votes as well as anyone still thinking about their vote.
3) This new reality just underlines the contrast with Joe Biden who has consistently stressed the need for protective actions on COVID
5) The process of appointing the new Supreme Court nominee is under a cloud with the sickness of Rep. nominess on the committee.
The latest polls show a 14 point lead to Biden.
An NBC News/Wall Street Journal national poll conducted after the debate found Mr Biden on 53% and his rival on 39% - a gap six points wider than in their previous poll two weeks earlier.
But more worrying for the president are two battleground state polls conducted by the New York Times and Siena College that found Mr Biden ahead by seven points in Pennsylvania and five points in Florida.
Overall, it doesn't appear that the president's debate performance helped him close the gap on his rival.

Polls are a joke.
