Do you notice what Nate is doing here? He’s comparing Clinton’s 2016 polls to Obama’s 2012 actual election day performance in order to create the narrative that she’s doing worse in swing states at this point in the race. If he had compared her swing state polls to his swing state polls the horserace narrative he’s selling would’ve fallen completely apart.

The other problem with the narrative? Obama actually overperformed on election day compared to his poll numbers in the final days of the race.
