    It can be both things.

    There are no definitive data points that should lead anyone to believe that either candidate has a significant advantage.

    I’m not sure anyone who is well versed in election projections or polling would say anything other than it’s a toss up. As a heavy consumer of said data and reporting, I haven’t seen anything to the contrary.

    You’re not wrong about media incentives, but they’re also not wrong that this is a very close race.

      Thank you! That was point. It’s close. Harris holds a steady, yet small lead. The media will always make it seem closer than what it is though for ratings.
