Hospitalizations and deaths to the most concerning indicators of trumps failed response are already high and they are rising.

Biden is ahead in pauls hair. Only slightly outside of the margin of error. In the recent polling. There has not beenn a lot of public only but the democrats have an substantial registratin advantage which they have for many years including 154,000 foreigners oso and clark county which is where laseg vegas is pretty 70 percent of the most.
