Recency bias and the tendency to project the recent past indefinitely into the future is a dangerous cognitive bias. On top of the fact that the polls were pretty accurate in 2016, don't kid yourself into thinking this isn't actually a dogfight.

Have you been sitting on a pile of top secret polls all this time?

I can’t find it, but I remember the Rachel Maddow video where she goes to every “tossup “state and concludes that "even if Trump wins every tossup State, something that NEVER happens, even if he wins that one delegate from Maine that he coves so badly, we'll throw that in, and Donald Trump wins every other tossup State, he still loses. “

It's July.

Ford closed like 25 points on Carter after Labor Day and almost won.

George HW Bush was down 15 to Dukakis in 88 after the Dem convention. He went on to win.

This was in an era of real polls.

Hell, Trump was down double digits a week into October after the Access tapes came out. How did that turn out?

Anyone saying this is over in July has an agenda.

No. Just read the math. 2016 polls were actually little more accurate than over time.

Trump won by less than 80k votes in three states.

His job approval in those states is TERRIBLE.

Yes, he pulled a huge upset once. One outlier does not predict another.

I love seeing MadCow be wrong. Her 2016 election night meltdown was so special.
