2016 vs now [View all]

I think because of what happened in 2016 people are cautious about the polling. Our side is on edge hoping the polls are accurate. And Trump’s side has a cockiness to them that they don’t believe the polls and they will win just like in 2016.....but the more I look back at things, Clinton was barely ahead in the polls nationally or electorally....I think people have it in their heads that she was winning by a lot because of the way it was portrayed and no one really thinking Trump was going to win. But Biden’s lead nationally and electorally has been steady and way bigger than Clinton’s lead. Hell, Biden is doing better than Obama in 2012.
