A new analysis of 2020 Census Bureau data is better news for former President Donald Trump than it is for President Joe Biden, should the two face off against each other again next year.

\nAccording to Ballotpedia, 13 states lost and gained electoral votes following the last census. Texas, for instance, gained an additional two congressional districts\/electoral college votes. Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon each picked up one as well; three of those \u2014 Florida, Montana, and North Carolina \u2014 trend red or are genuinely red.<\/p>\n
At the same time, California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia each lost one. Of those, California, Illinois, Michigan, and New York are blue or trend blue, while Pennsylvania is leaning that way. Ohio and West Virginia are reliably red.<\/p>\n
The poll showed Trump ahead of Biden in Arizona (47 to 43 percent), Georgia (48 to 43 percent), Wisconsin (46 to 44 percent) and Pennsylvania (46 to 45 percent) in a head-to-head matchup for the White House.<\/p>\n
In an interview with radio host Michael Patrick Leahy for The Tennessee Star report on Tuesday, pollster John McLaughlin discussed what current state and national polling means, what polls to watch, and how to analyze new polling as it comes out in the months ahead.<\/p>\n
\u2026[I]t would be an electoral landslide because when you look at it, due to the census, there\u2019s a little more electoral vote our way.<\/p>\n
But if you look at the toss-up states from last time and you say, \u2018This means he\u2019s going to win Wisconsin, Michigan\u2019 \u2013 that\u2019s why I went to Detroit last week to stand up for union workers, going to lose their jobs in China.<\/p>\n
Nevada 6 \u2013 we could win that. That was close last time.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll win Georgia because they changed the election law to require a voter ID, not just for in-person, but also for absentee \u2013 there\u2019re 16 electoral votes there.<\/p>\n
We got a shot at Pennsylvania in spite of their trying to manipulate the mail-in votes. There\u2019s 19 electoral votes there.<\/p>\n
And Ohio has 7 \u2013 Ohio, we\u2019re gonna win.<\/p>\n
But there are 77 electoral votes that would switch.<\/p>\n
So we would go from last time, 232 electoral votes \u2013 we\u2019d be at 304 already.<\/p>\n
\u201cMorning Consult has Trump and Biden tied, but I\u2019ve seen Trump up 9 in the Washington Post poll; and Trump up 3 in another. The polls say it\u2019s looking good for Donald J. Trump,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
