1. Polls were a little off because the pollsters didn't account for white with/without a college degree. They have corrected that.

2. Despite what people tell you, she was never ahead like Biden. As you pointed out he is over 50% and there are some polls that even have Biden up 12, 16 even 20 points. Even Rasmussen has him up. Not in 2016. Polls also show who is going for Biden. In 2016 tRUMP had older white voters. The margins of these groups show Biden going up.

3. Undecided. There are few left in 2020 but not in 2016 and 3rd party votes are tilting to Biden.

4. There is just more energy out there for Biden. IMO that will bring more people to the polls. As you said there is less negativity about Biden then HC. Remember that data base we heard about which they used to dampen AA participation. People are on to them this time and they are angry. And even the far left Bernie progressives are being positive about Biden. Its that 30 year propaganda that you were talking about.

5. The Lincoln Project and various Republican groups that are working against Trump. They are also speaking to people in the middle and convincing others. We needed to broaden our coalition.

7. Final point. Their panic.
