MODERATORS
Democrats need to be winning by 3-4% in the popular vote to overcome the electoral college bias. Maybe he's squeaking by in the popular vote isn't enough to win.
50 other Democrats, like Joe Biden himself said. This isn't a close election because people love Joe Biden, it's because they hate Donald Trump. Trump isn't some electoral force of nature, he's a weak candidate who's had the fortune to run against another weak candidate (now and in 2016). There isn't a big focus on "double-haters" in normal elections. Most people don't want these candidates.
