Charlie Cook: “This race has been the most stable, least volatile presidential race in the 52 years that I have watched these contests. As this column noted last week, it is a ‘mature’ race with extreme partisanship anchoring much of the vote. Both parties’ nominees-in-waiting have total name recognition and definition in the minds of voters, a long-held view that Trump was no Boy Scout and that Biden embarked on a more aggressive policy agenda than the mandate given to him by a narrow Electoral College win, a 50-50 Senate split, and a half-dozen-seat margin in the House.”
“Both 2017 and 2021 proved the point that nowadays, no win is too small to declare a landslide. Voters might take a different view.”
