But I agree; those polls in 2016 did not serve well, we have to act as if 10 points behind! And get the vote out. People have learned from the 2016 Orange Disaster that they cannot assume an outcome and therefore not bother to vote.

And also remember it is possible to get more votes and still not win Congress, so identify the states/districts that can bring that about.
