These are the Atlas consensus maps. Both, especially the presidential map seem to be way too favorable to the president, since it seems like the majority of active users on this forum think the EC map looks much more favorable to Biden than that.

People make one map when the model comes out and then don't update it until right before the election, I suspect. I do this most of the time.

It looks fairly reasonable to me. I'm mostly in agreement, then again I'm a self-professed pessimist. But my impressions are still far more optimistic than they were back in February or March.

Seeing the colors flipped legitimately makes me uncomfortable because I'm so used to Atlas colors at this point. This seems foreign.

Same reason the consensus primary map slowly changed, because people are lazy.

Besides the aforementioned point of people not updating their prediction maps, I think a lot of people are being overly cautious based on what happened in 2016. I know I am.

Because elections crush hopes and dreams faster than colleges do.
