Yet some Dems try to claim that they’ve got this election in the bag.  I think the difference is that Hillary was a popular first choice candidate who generated enthusiasm amongst Democratic women. Biden, on the other hand, was the second choice for many Dems this cycle, thus the corresponding lack of enthusiasm.

Hillary Clinton was up 6.8 in the RealClearPolitics average in Pennsylvania. Today, Biden is up 3.8. (that race only tightened to 2.1 in the last week of 2016.)

Clinton was up twelve points in Michigan on that day. Biden is up 7.5 right now.

Clinton was up 6.5 in Wisconsin. Biden is up 6.2.

Clinton was up four points in Florida. Biden is up one point.

Clinton was up 2.8 in North Carolina. Biden is up two points.

Good point!  

Some of the ‘genius’ righties like CKS, LP, DM etc think if they put up a ‘link’ to ANYTHING or any source- it makes their post reliable and legit!

RCP averages are routinely cited by GOP and Dem posters here at P&R.

First of all, chickenshit, Hillary was NOT a popular first choice as nominee. You seriously don't recall all those Bernie Bots who refused to vote for her after she supposedly "stole" the nomination? Not to mention all the Black voters who just didn't vote and the MUCH more visible third party candidates. Wow, you're dense.
Also, all the polls you cite were WRONG. So you can't compare them to polls taken recently whose internals have been improved BASED on the failures of the 2016 polls.
So the entire premise of your post is fallacious.
You are a partisan hack and a simpleton.

Clinton’s enthusiasm numbers were much higher than Biden’s.   There was palpable excitement within the electorate about Hillary becoming the first woman president.  I sense no such excitement around Biden the candidate.  The existence of a strong Bernie opposition doesn’t erase the fact that Hillary’s primary supporters did have a much higher level of enthusiasm than Biden received during the 2020 primaries.

You make a good point regarding the potential reliability of 2020 polls versus 2016 polls, but we really won’t know how well these improvements worked until after the election is over.

That said, a comparison of overall poll averages between 2016 and 2020 can serve as a point of insight to the state of the campaigns just a few weeks out from Election Day.

Not to forget what Comey did to her just about 10 days before the election.

Another reason it’s a stupid post is it closely follows another post where he blasted Biden for having Obama and Bernie stump for him in PA.

No, it’s not the Dems who think this election is in the bag. That’s why the Dems are still working hard to get out the vote and help voters see the clear choice between candidates.  

It’s people like the OP who WISH Dems would look at polls and think, “Yay, we’re ahead in the polls, let’s sit back and wait for the results!”

Sorry. Ain’t gonna happen this time.

Merely pointing out that this race is much closer than those in the MSM are trying to portray.

And you said MUCH more than "this race is much closer." The least you can do is stand by what you wrote instead of being such a lying weasel.

Internal polling must tell them something else. This race is much closer than Dems are pretending it to be.  Shit is going to hit the fan in the big Blue cities when Trump is declared the winner of the 2020 election.
It’s well known that you have a habit of letting your emotions get the best of you, but I’m really trying to figure out how you divined a “blast” out of this comment on the Biden campaign strategy in Pennsylvania.  Even a simpleton could see there’s no criticism of the campaign here. Even if the criticism of the MSM in bothers you, I really have trouble seeing how you would quantify that as
MUCH more

Maybe if you take a deep breath before responding to posts here, you’ll find yourself posting less material that only makes you look foolish.

Now he's imagining my emotional state. ROFL. More likely "a certain someone" is whispering in your ear. That's adorable.
Also, your characterizations of how I read your idiotic posts could not be more wrong.
Please stop your vaporing. You'll hyperventilate. Try this.

Bottom line, Nicky was unable to prove anything wrong or deceptive about the post. Sans a credible rebuttal, he closes out with a cute GIF.

Before the gif you were already rebutted and proved wrong and deceptive.
You are just too dumb and reading-impaired to comprehend it.
