House-district polling is telling a grim story for Trump.
I spoke to @Redistrict about all the private data he's seeing.
"Trump is underperforming 2016 margins by 8 to 10 points in most competitive districts," he told me.

Some highlights from my chat with @Redistrict.
He says Trump is underperforming relative to 2016 by more than 10 points in upscale suburban districts.
Trump is overperforming in Hispanic districts, but overall this mirrors Biden's big national lead:

Key point: @Redistrict says House district polling shows Biden getting halfway back to Obama-2012 levels in working class white districts across the board.
"Trump needs to get back to his 2016 numbers in those places to have any chance," he tells me.

Final point: Trump has to boost turnout among noncollege whites *and* get a higher share of them to offset demographic change and Trump's outsize losses among educated whites.
That's possible, but...
