Biden’s lead remains the steadiest on record – CNNPolitics

Biden's up 52% to 42% over President Donald Trump among likely voters nationally, and he has a 50% to 44% edge over Trump in the key battleground state of Wisconsin as well.

Biden's 10 point and 6 point advantages are the exact same they were when CBS News/YouGov polled the contests before the party conventions.

The polls are reflective of a race that barely budges even after two conventions, protests and unrest in some cities over police brutality and as the nation navigates the coronavirus pandemic. Indeed, the stability of this race is record breaking when looking at polling dating back to 1940.

Summer is Done, Next Fall is Done

Summer is done. Maybe not calendar wise, but as a practical matter once school is back in session and Labor Day comes to an conclusion, summer is concluded. The sunset is before 7:30 PM and with the recent cold snap the mountains are showing a hints of color to come. I am kind of sad that it’s been such a crazy but odd summer with remote work and the pandemic, but I look forward to autumn.

September 6, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Happy Sunday. Two weeks to Average High 70 πŸŽ‘ . Mostly sunny and 55 degrees at the Green Mountain National Forest. 🌞There is a west breeze at 9 mph. πŸƒ. The dew point is 47 degrees.

A pretty nice quiet morning, 😁 although that baby 🀱🏻 in the campsite across the way I can hear crying 😒 a bit. The campsite is still 200 feet away but noise travels. It was nice the first half of the weekend when the site was vacant but so be it.

Last night I had a mouse 🐭 in the truck cap again. It’s not a nest, I actually spotted it climbing πŸ§—πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ in over the gap in the tailgate. I’m going to see if I can remove everything from from the bed today and clean around where that synthetic PMD aka oil of lemon eucalyptus πŸ‹ leaked earlier in the summer while camping πŸ•.

Should be another nice day. 🌞No real plans, I’ll just hang around camp and walk down to Somerset along the Deerfield River later. I thought about driving 🚘 up to the Stratton Pond Trailhead but I don’t feel like hiking a crowded trail. I’d rather just stay closer to camp today.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 65 degrees at 3pm. 11 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 2nd. Maximum dew point of 48 at 10am. West wind around 9 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 72 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 2018.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:51 pm with sun having an altitude of 53.2Β° from the due south horizon (-17.2Β° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 4.5 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour πŸ… starts at 6:42 pm with the sun in the west (273Β°). πŸ“Έ The sunset is in the west (279Β°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:19 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 57 seconds with dusk around 7:46 pm, which is one minute and 46 seconds earlier than yesterday. πŸŒ‡ The best time to look at the stars is after 8:22 pm. At sunset, look for mostly clear skies πŸŒ„ and temperatures around 62 degrees. There will be a south-southwest breeze at 7 mph. Today will have 12 hours and 55 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 minutes and 51 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌀, with a low of 54 degrees at 5am. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around September 9th. Maximum dew point of 52 at 2am. South wind 7 to 15 mph. In 2019, we had partly cloudy skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 52 degrees. The record low of 36 occurred back in 1962.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Average High 70 πŸŽ‘ when the sun will be setting at 6:52 pm with dusk at 7:20 pm. On that day in 2019, we had partly sunny, patches of fog and temperatures between 79 and 42 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 71 degrees. We hit a record high of 90 back in 1946.
