2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumExpect New Hampshire to be very close. Could be another virtual tie.
Previous polls had way to much spread between the candidates.
It's totally expected they will narrow.

(46,416 posts)how things work in elections--how you never set up expectations that will fall short, how you have to plan for the narratives that might come out. They get excited when they see good poll numbers and have faith that it will all hold up--but they forget or don't understand how powerful things like attack ads, party support, ground organization, etc. can be. That can erode a lead based on enthusiasm fast, which is why I doubt Bernie himself takes those wide point spreads seriously.
