The polls show Biden is a clear favorite 100 days out from an unprecedented election

Believe it or not, we're now 100 days and 15 hours from the 2020 election. As we enter the final stretch of the campaign, presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden continues to hold an advantage over President Donald Trump in the polls.

A look at history reveals that while Biden's clearly the favorite, his victory is not assured in an unprecedented election.

1. This is the rare election not about the economy


A Fox News poll earlier this month revealed that 29% of voters said coronavirus/Covid-19 was the most important issue facing the country. That was nearly double the 15% who said the economy.

Going back over time, there have only been a select number of modern elections not about the economy. In each of those elections, the candidate trusted most on this non-economic issue went on to win.

Indeed, vote choice is currently strongly correlated with whether voters think Biden or Trump can better handle coronavirus.

That's why he doesn't mind being more of an asshole than usual lately.
The way he mishandled the pandemic was the deal maker.
