2016 8 days out

[Johnny2X2X]

In 2016 according to 538, 8 days from the election Hillary led by 4.3 points in the polls and Trump had about a 1 in 4 chance of winning. Today, Biden leads by 9.1 and Trump has under a 1 in 8 chance of winning.

1. Thanks for the perspective

2. Yeah and Hillary's number's kept going down

since the Comey letter. She rebounded a bit before the election but it wasn't enough to win the Electoral College. It's the exact opposite for Biden and I believe his numbers are going to increase this week.

4. True

The Comey story was still reaching it's impact, she had a slight recovery in the last few days, but that obviously was fool's gold.

3. Thanks

good to know this, not sure if anything will ease my anxiety. Holy crap. I should screen shot this and look at it every time I'm nervous.

5. So here's my question...

Why did many of us go to bed (early) on election night in 2016 thinking we would have the first woman President. What were we not seeing back then?
