reminder: blumph outperformed polls by 4.25% (Average) in swing states in 2016

scroll down a bit on the following link, you can see blumph vs HRC from 2016, the predicted (polled) result and the final result. if you compare blumph's score in the final result vs the polled result, you see drumpf outperformed polls by an average of 4.25% in the swing states (just get the difference between final result and polled result, and divide by 12 (number of swing states)):

(5 + 4.5 + 6.7 + 1 + 1.6+5.3+6.1+6+8.1+4.2-1+4 ) / 12 = 4.25

now, check the difference in CURRENT polls between creepy joe and bdrumpflph:

wisconsin: 49.8-44.3 = 5.5
minnesota: 48-42 = 6
NC 48.8-47.6 = 1.2
florida 49-47.2 = 1.8
georgia 46.8-47.2 = -0.4
penn 49.8-45.0 = 4.8
ohio 46.2-46.8 = -0.6
michigan 50.6-41.6 = 9
iowa 47.2-46.4 = 0.8
arizona 48.8-46.4 = 2.4
nevada 49.0-43.8 = 5.2
texas 45.4-48.6 = -3.2

so we see that if accounting for this 4.5% bump, the only swing states drumpf doesn't capture are:
wisconsin
minnesota
pennsylvania
michigan
nevada

polls will continue to narrow in the next week. all bets are off, but people who are predicting an easy biden victory are not paying attention to the RELATIVE numbers of how biden is doing vs trump in 2020 vs how hrc was doing vs trump in 2016. we are basically where we were 4 years ago, or arguably HRC was in a better position then, than creepy joe is now.

link:
can't post a link lol but just google 'RCP trump biden', click on 'electoral map' and scroll down a bit.

So assuming the polls are still off and have not bothered improving their methodology after 2016, you give Trump a bonus 4.25% across the board and he is still losing all 3 swing states needed for re-election?

what has changed in the polling methodology that would lead to a different result?

yes, as it stands now. my method is crude and not meant to give any exact prediction, i was just showing that there is a systematic bias in the polls, biden's lead is not as commanding as you might be lead to believe from looking at polls only.

Trump has locked up FL and OH. Biden would need to win AZ, NV, PA, MI, WI, and IA. He’s behind in 4 of those states.
