ALL the media, TV and PRINT, have been INTENTIONALLY keeping it close in order to build a HUGE audience because they MAKE their MONEY selling TV spots and Print ADS.
The BIGGER the audience numbers the MORE they charge for those ads.
Whatever the polls are, or are not.. it's inevitable that they ALWAYS build the suspense of the outcome by MAKING it razor close, even if it means bull$hitting the public into believing it IS, when it ISN'T. As you know, they do this CONSTANTLY with practically everything.

Funny, they didn’t run with this narrative in 2008. In 2008, it was all about ‘tune in and see history!!!!!!!’ And alas, many did...and that too got ratings (to your point.)
