Yesterday President Trump traveled around Pennsylvania for three different events and expressed optimism about winning the state. 

"I think we’re leading in Pennsylvania. I think we’ll win Pennsylvania," Trump said Monday. "I think we’re going to win Pennsylvania by more than we did last time."

While most polling still shows Trump behind Biden in the swing states he needs to win, the numbers from 2016 give a stark reminder that this race is far from over. 

For those asking if the polls can be wrong and Trump can still win, like in 2016, my response is:

The 2016 polls did NOT miss the Trump surge.

In the last 2 weeks, they showed big Trump momentum in key states.

Look at these RCP charts...
