The one thing I'll say is that there's just not really that much you can tell without knowing who people voted for. Whether the electorate ends up at say R+3 or R+1 by party registration isn't as important as whether Biden wins indies by 20 points or loses them by 2.

Why are so many apparently intelligent people so adamant that Pfizer had nothing to do with Warp Speed? It doesn’t matter how anybody feels about Trump. It just isn’t true. Pfizer has now clarified that it was a participant.
Pfizer declined to take Warp Speed money because, according to its CEO, they didn’t want their vaccine to be ransom to American politics. In hindsight that’s looking like a good call.
