I dont have the graphic to post but I'd you look at the Clinton trend vs the Biden trend, Clinton bounced up and down and there were even times where it got really close.

On Biden though he has been 8-10 points ahead for MONTHS and his average and Trump's averages are extremely stable. of course we all need to vote bit Biden just needs to glide on through and let Trump be an idiot and this should be an easier win than Clinton would have been.
