Ari lied, HRC NEVER had a lead like Biden has. Question is why did he lie? beachbumbob Oct 2020 #23
As I Noted Above, HRC *VERY BRIEFLY* Had That Lead smb Oct 2020 #33

Absolutely false- 2016: HRC +4.3% 2020: Biden +9.6% Fiendish Thingy Oct 2020 #28
I don't recall BainsBane Oct 2020 #29
So, with all the evidence to the contrary of the assertions in your OP, are you still scared? Nt Fiendish Thingy Oct 2020 #30
Virtually all of the evidence to the contrary provided Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #34
A 10% margin in the pop vote gives 99.9% odds of EC win; HRC had 2-3% which 50% odds Fiendish Thingy Oct 2020 #43
You cannot predict the votes in key states by the margin in the popular vote. Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #48
Quinnipiac poll of PA Oct 7: Biden +13%, 2.8%MOE Fiendish Thingy Oct 2020 #54
That data is at least responsive to the concern raised in the OP, Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #58
Of course he is still vulnerable. Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #31
HA! No she wasn't! OhZone Oct 2020 #35

The national spread does not have a direct correlation Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #50
Why do you say that? BGBD Oct 2020 #64
National polls predict the popular vote, not the electoral vote. Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #65
It just doesn't work like that in practice. BGBD Oct 2020 #68
Unless you are basing it on state polls, it isn't a polling error - Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #70
And? BGBD Oct 2020 #72
But she lost based on STATE results, she did not lose the popular national vote. Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #73
Another key difference in the EC vs national polls spooky3 Oct 2020 #76
Agreed. Ms. Toad Oct 2020 #78
