Important:



So let's assume undecideds break for Trump. Still only Trump +16 (58-42), a 10% decrease from his win in 2016 (Trump +26)

True, but it was also just Trump +9 then.

Tennessee was alongside the Dakotas for the largest polling miss in 2016.  The final RCP average was only Trump +10 or +11 (I think RCP even had it just Likely R), when the result was Trump +26.

Not many polls had Lee winning by 21 or Blackburn by 11 in 2018, either.

That's basically what Miles is saying. Tennessee polls recently have underestimated Republicans but got the Democratic support correct.

The margin isn't the issue here. Yes, the 2016 polls had lower margins for Trump but Hillary's numbers were right, all between 31-36%. No doubt Trump will win by much more than 9 points but if Biden is truly around 42% that's significant.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with SN, but yeah this poll is too old... all of the protests happened AFTER this poll was taken.

Trump will definitely do better here, but it really does seem like he peaked in numerous states back in 2016 and may not replicate it.
