The media desperately wants a close race
Blowout races don't get ratings or sell newspapers.

They have ways of jiggling the poll numbers to get the close race that they want, or at least the appearance thereof.

Just remember that in these next three weeks.

1980 analogy baby. 1980.

If this keeps up, they'll have no choice but to focus their beautiful minds on our imploding economy, Iraq and Afghanistan, and climate change.
