We're in danger of Appalachian State syndrome, if you can call it that. Just because Trump pulled off an upset one time, in 2016, doesn't mean that it's the norm, any more than App State beating Michigan once means that App State is favored to beat Michigan again in a rematch.
We often forget just how narrowly the last presidential election was won. Just 80,000 votes in the upper Midwest separated Trump in victory from defeat. That's less than one football stadium's capacity of people.
Could the polls be wrong again this year? Could be. But it would be extraordinarily foolish to just breezily dismiss them as "wrong". That's sticking one's head in the sand.
Michigan was favored to beat App State in both meetings; first time in 2007, second time in 2014. The second time, Michigan won handily.
