People are sick of mask mandates. Biden will lose because of that alone. By election day even democrats will have mask fatigue and not be motivated to vote.

Polls mean nothing unless all of those polled vote.
What is the source of your information?

In July:

"A new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released exclusively to The Hill found that 79 percent of respondents said they would support such a mandate, while another 70 percent said they supported the idea of local governments imposing fees on individuals who do not wear masks."

Has it changed? Doubtful:

"Despite noisy no-mask protests, 92 percent of 2,200 Americans polled say they wear a face mask when leaving their home, with 74 percent saying they “always” do. That “always” percentage is up nearly a quarter since July, according to the poll, which has a 2 percent margin of error."

I go into stores with a strict mask wearing policy and see the employees with their noses uncovered. Some have their masks pulled down on their chin serving no purpose at all. This is increasingly common.

People say one thing and they do another. When people think seriously about how long they will have to wear masks waiting for a vaccine then poll them. People are not thinking about the long term. If they were, you would get different poll numbers. By the time the election comes people will think about it.

You mean that POV that has government actually helping the little guy? That part where they work to make health insurance cover everyone, as opposed to you corrupt Trump who as we speak has a court case trying to kill the ACA and BTW there is ZERO in the way of a replacement plan, Lesley Stahl saw the big book of Trump covering all his moves and replacing ACA was not in there.
If it existed it would have shown up in that thick book but it was not there.
So I assume you WANT 20 million folks to lose their health coverage.
Way to go ultrarightwingnut.
