So the thousands of people who came out to see her at each event, and the dozen or so polls that had her leading by 10 plus points make it seem like to you that she was not popular or is there some other reason you’ve come up with?
Good question. It may be that election dynamics have changed, and rallies, events, etc. don’t matter as much any more. And that the polls (all of which predicted a huge red wave) have not yet adjusted their methodology to reflect the new dynamics. It is possible that the old polling methodology is over-stating Republican performance. It is also possible that this phenomenon is not uniform nationwide, but is more pronounced in certain locations. I think a retrospective of the chest-thumping predictions of pollsters is in order.
