Everyone seems afraid to say it. They are afraid of a repeat of 2016, where Democrats suffered a devastating loss after being assured of victory. But this is not 2016 (and voters have learned their lesson). This could actually turn out to be a landslide victory for Biden and the Democratic Party.
That's what Niall Stanage believes. He writes this in The Hill:
A landslide victory for Joe Biden is now a realistic possibility.
The Democratic presidential nominee has a lead of around 10 percentage points over President Trump in national polling averages, and he is up across almost all the battleground states.
Trump faces low job approval ratings, bad marks for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and an ever-decreasing number of opportunities to change the direction of the race.
The first debate has come and gone, and the second scheduled clash has been canceled. Only one more debate, set for Oct. 22, remains.
No challenger to an incumbent president since Bill Clinton almost 30 years ago has been in such a strong position as Biden with such a short period of time until Election Day. . . .
With just three weeks to go, time is running out for Trump.
The president’s main hope, for now, is that the polls are wrong.
If, instead, they are accurate — or even underestimating Democratic support, as was the case in 2012 — Trump is on course for a crushing defeat.
