Either way, now we're back to the problem of Trump declaring victory... and being wrong.

A lot of stupid Trump supporters are definitely going to believe that if Trump has beaten the polls in FL and is ahead in MI/PA, that means he's won.  This is going to be a fucking disaster.

In short, the polls need to be correct somewhere. And if they aren't, well, one has to wonder how the fuck the same thing happened twice in a row.

Some difficult to ascertain, but probably substantial subset of the polls is definitely propaganda for one side or the other. There are a few for which this is quite obvious, but it stands to reason that there are also some which are more subtle about it. In addition, even the polls that are done in good faith always have a natural uncertainty of roughly 3-5% and sometimes more. That said, except for maybe Florida, the polls are currently not off by a large amount. In other words, Biden will still win, it's just not likely to be a landslide.

I'd take that in a heartbeat right now as crappy as it would be, if the ultimate counts led to MI and PA going blue with uproar among Trump supporters.  The real fucking disaster seems to have a decent chance of happening right now, which is that Trump wins outright.  And keeps his senate majority to boot (or at least the 50 senators he'd need).
