Is Trump Really Leading in the Polls?

All of a sudden, the polls are beginning to shift towards Trump, not just in the battleground states, but in the national voting numbers as a whole. The big change in the national numbers comes from a poll just released by Atlas/Intel, which has Trump up by almost 3 points, and no undecided vote at all.

And you should know that Atlas/Intel isn’t one of these polling outfits like American Thinker, which uses poll results simply to promote conservative politics and just released a North Carolina poll which gave Trump a 5-point in that all-important battleground state.

To the contrary, Atlas/Intel is considered by the entire polling industry not only to be the most accurate polling effort out there but was the polling operation which was closest to the final results for the 2020 race.

So, what’s going on? How can we explain or even understand how a guy who is a convicted felon and is facing several other criminal cases, as well as having lied to a New York civil court about sexually assaulting a woman in a department store changing room could not only be on the ballot of a Presidential election but also jumping into the lead?

I think the answer to that question can be at least somewhat understood if we look at the list compiled by Atlas/Intel of the issues which their respondents said could be managed…
