"The 538 election model puts a healthy amount of weight on non-polling factors such as economic growth and political indicators. Today these indicators suggest an outcome closer to a 3-point Biden win — clear in the opposite direction of national polls," 538 said
."538’s focus on uncertainty partially explains why our election forecast has not moved much in reaction to new national polls showing Trump gaining on Biden.""In effect, we are hedging our bets, putting more weight on the so-called 'fundamentals' because we believe the campaign could be volatile or polls could be biased."
"The other big factor explaining our model’s relative stability is the flurry of swing-state polls that were published over the weekend, most good for Biden."
