State of the Race: The polls may be tied, but the glass is half full

We are a little over a week out from the Most Important Election of Our Lifetimes, and people are losing their minds as they fret over the latest poll. Some compare this year’s environment with 2016, or dig into crosstabs to “unskew” results, or, worst of all, cherry-pick data that looks bad for Vice President Kamala Harris, giving themselves even more reason to panic. 

Chill, everyone. Almost nothing has changed in the race for months. This is a get-out-the-vote election. The side that works hardest will win. And the data supports that conclusion.
