Here’s the bottom line: Polls are fallible, pollsters are fallible, and rigorous-but-fallible polls are still more instructive than none at all. What the rigorous-but-fallible polls show right now is that the race is far from over but also not spectacularly volatile to date. For all the day-to-day upheaval in Washington and beyond, national surveys — and voter appraisals of Mr. Trump — have often been remarkably consistent month over month. While his team has said it will continue to follow the pandemic science, Mr. Biden does plan to ramp up travel. Mr. Biden probably would have accelerated his pace of campaigning anyway as the fall approached.
