| FOR TRUMP TO WIN — WE WOULD NEED AN EVEN BIGGER POLLING ERROR THAN IN 2016: |
| Via The New York Times’s Nate Cohn, “[President Trump] would need polls to be even worse than they were in the Northern battleground states four years ago. Crucially, he would also need polls to be off to a far greater extent at the national level as well as in the Sun Belt — and those polls have been relatively accurate in recent contests.” Full explanation: https://nyti.ms/3jLUEFD |

| WHAT STRATEGISTS, OPERATIVES AND POLLSTERS ARE SAYING: |

Tidbit — Melania was pretty ticked with maskless White House aides: |
| Via Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs, “Because [first lady Melania Trump] observed that West Wing staff didn’t always follow public-health guidance, she limited the number of aides traveling with her aboard Air Force One.” https://bloom.bg/320SJqD “On one trip, when she boarded Marine One, she was perplexed to see none of the president's aides wearing masks, according to people familiar with the incident. Aboard the president’s plane on another journey, she asked if masks would be worn and was told yes. But as the first lady walked to the conference room to greet some members of Congress, no one she passed had a face covering. ‘What is wrong with these people?’ she said later, one person recalled.” More on the COVID-19 outbreak at the White House: https://bloom.bg/320SJqD |
