Thats before you account for historic over/ under performance.
Subtract 4 from Bidens numbers and add 8 to Trumps for a more accurate view of real world performance.
Since we have the data its worth reposting:
Trump historically over performs his polling (in aggregate) by 8.
Biden, by contrast, under performs his polling, by 4.
How can there be a historic performance when they have only faced each other once before and there are so many variables to account for?
Looks like the datasets consist of every poll from October and November. Would love to see a time axis.
