We are back with nick clark. Clark, associate professor at susquehanna university. What do polls say right now in this snapshot of time about where the race stands . Average thenes that different polls put Vice President biden ahead between roughly 4 and 6 . Frank then and marshall has a new poll this morning i think with some of the upper end of that trajectory. There are some single polls that give him more of an advantage. It is looking like biden as an advantage between 4 and 6 . Host is it enough to get out of the margin of error . Guest i believe so. On the high side the margin is around five point. Even if the Vice President were to come down a percentage point, that would be enough to do it. That is a high margin though. Most cases will be between 3 and five point. We will not know on Election Night because they will be ballots being counted for the days afterwards. It does look at the polls. If they are accurate, the Vice President will pull this off. Host 20 electoral votes a

Weve got a pretty broadbased group. And our concern four months ago was that with the pandemic and with the high volume of mailin ballots required because people didnt want to vote in person as much as usual, and because of the possible closeness of this election, we knew that this could be a problem having a successful election. And getting both sides, whatever happened, to accept the results and to h
Winner in massachusetts as well. Also in delaware, biden wins. Biden also the projected winner in d. C. All right. And oklahoma will go for the president in illinois. We are calling it too early, but biden is leading in illinois. Hes led in the polls. Connecticut, same thing, too early, but biden is leading. Heres whats happening in alabama right now, too early to call. Too early in maine as well. Same story in mississippi, missouri. Biden leading in rhode island, but that ones too early to call. Trump leading in tennessee. All right. So, where does that put us . Weve just made some calls. Here we go. Lets get to the map of 270. Thats how you get elected president in this country, as we show tennessee, but i think we can roll the map. And now weve got a few more numbers to report. Joe biden, not surprisingly, carrying those big cities in the east and we see donald trump in some of his strong red territory. Chuck, this is unfolding as expected. Nobodys won a road game yet. You know . Pa

Guest if it is close, if the polls are largely wrong and none of the other states and play such as florida or North Carolina or georgia or arizona are competitive, pennsylvania will decide it. We may not know the outcome on Election Night. We will know if it is close or if it is more of a landslide for the
