You follow week to week polls. I don’t believe Trump is behind. He got more votes than Biden in the Pa primary. I think there is more enthusiasm from Trump supporters than Biden’s. I saw a recent poll that stated as much. I don’t rely on polls, you do.
Trump 887,664
Biden 783,311
These are the vote totals in the Pa primary. This can’t be good news for Biden no matter what your polls say.

Last week when a CNN/SSRS poll had Trump trailing Biden by 14%, he hired McLauglin & Associates to investigate the polling methodology used by CNN/SSRS
I can put my faith in polls or the biased opinions of others, both Republican and Democratic, on a forum. I choose the former. You say you don't like polls yet you just cited one. Why? It supports
YOUR POV.
I happen to agree. There is more enthuriasm among Trump supporters than Biden supporters. Yet polls show that does not seem to impact voters when asked for whom they will vote in November.
If you think votes in a primary mean anything, that is fine.
The results I have found for the 2020 Pennsylvania primary are 1.042,463 for Biden and 980,299 for Trump. 1,313,898 total votes for Democrats, 1.058,971 for Republicans. Unfortunately I looked at 3 different websites for results and got 3 different answers. ballotopia has the most votes for each candidate so whether that is meaningful or not is to be determined.
