    Yeah I was thinking that too. They are pretty well produced ads.
    Sure enough just as I speak another one just came on.

    I'm surprised they didn't fund some Kanye ads..

    As I said it's possible as I don't analyze RCP as deeply as Silver does but then again this isn't my job. All of that said just taking the RCP averages still show that Biden should win and a landslide is very possible.

    MI, PA, WI they missed Trump winning. Nevada they had Trump winning.

    Here are their 2016 battleground polls (includes final totals): https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/2016StateFinalResults.html

    I took a quick glance and indeed saw they left out the Siena poll for PA avg. The point isn’t that Biden is winning or not, or by how much. Accuracy matter. It’s a website that show avg and they left off polls. Acceptable if it’s a mistake, unacceptable when it’s a pattern.

    My understanding is that the results were all in the margin of error

    They have a cutoff time to include polls in their average or projection. For example, the cutoff for 538 to include polls in their projection was midnight last night.

    I am betting it was out of concern for social distancing...
