At this point in 2016 Clinton had a huge lead in the polls.
See RCP polls for August 27, 2016.
AND… this included most of the battleground states.

Yes. No one knew Orange then. He had the newness factor.
Now he’s tired, old, regarded as a constant liar and genuinely disliked by many more than who felt that way in 2016. His mouth is also the gift that keeps on giving. Keep the attention right there.
Given her weakness as a candidate, it’s their only strategy (plus chicanery). I live in MI…
…..the quiet Trump support seems much stronger than 2020 and the overt support is MUCH greater.
When pollsters call, I will most assuredly not help them.
The problem with polling in 2016 was there wasn’t robust polling in the swing states. The national
polls were right
Why are you sweating poles? Trump says he’s ahead and all of them.
The same underestimation of Trump vote was seen in 2020 as well. Trump is w doing better than both
years at this time, and particularly in the Midwest (thanks for picking AWalz instead of Shapiro) and among black males (I know you refuse to believe this, but they don’t like Harris which is one of the biggest reasons she won’t give any interviews as she drops with every appearance).
That’s not true. The polls underestimated Trump’s support.
Polls try to capture “likely voters,” and many people came out to vote for Trump who were not likely voters in these models.
Trump consistently outperforms his polls for this reason.
