a lot of the biden gloom and doom is because people have an inate fear of being fooled twice.
everyone was so sure trump would lose the first time that they "won't make that mistake again."
it's not really based on data though.
For me it's also based on Republican voter suppression tactics and foreign hacking of voting systems, which are a joke securitywise. It's one thing for a person to say they will vote for a certain candidate when taking a poll, it's another for that person to vote and have that vote counted properly. BCR was spot on when he said if Biden is up 5 points it's even. He needs to be up 7-8 points to be actually in the lead.

I think we call this recency bias. I think people underestimate how much of the 2016 Trump vote was actually an anti-Clinton vote. Not to mention the black vote was way down because they didn't like Clinton and they weren't going to vote for Trump. You think they're going to stay home again?
However, Biden likely needs to win the popular vote by at least 3 points to win the EC. Trump is only trading as a 27% favorite to win the popular vote, despite being a tossup to win the EC. I think 538 ran some simulations and there were a few where Democrats won the popular vote by 6 points and still lost the election. It was dependent on how much the margins got run up in big deep blue states like Cali and NY.
Here's the pop vote margin market on PredictIt. Consensus is Dems by 1.5% to 6%.

Trump crushed with seniors and they are now running away from him and running fast.
Tell me how he can win without seniors?
trump can't win without florida. Lotta old people in florida and they are not happy
Speaking of, Barr just said Obama wasn't responsible for the Russia inquiry and he's not a target of the investigation. Looks like the end of Obamagate. This must be very disappointing for Trump. What's Trump going to do, will he fire Barr? He can't let himself be cucked like that.

Summary of election.
Blacks won’t vote at all because no black candidate.
Trump supporters will all vote.
Democrats won’t vote at all over voting for sleepy creepy basement Biden.
Trump wins.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

I wonder if people will be taking off work like they did in in 2016. That has to be the biggest embarrassment in our Nation's politics that happened as a result from the election. People couldn't mentally cope with their candidate not winning so they had to take a day or 2 off to mentally readjust. I remember it happening and like 2 or 3 people in my office of like 25 people or so and looking so bewildered. That had to be the start of TDS. Strange times.
