It feels like it but theres a difference. Unlike 2016, not only is there no alternative. But there was and we go it. Genocide Joe was pushed out. "If you arent in the K-hive now then what were you complaining about. You were just complaining for its own sake"
There were warning signs about the polls in 2016. The only thing that got mentioned was the national polls. The HRC friendly media downplayed it though. People have learned their lessons and analysis is more nuanced these days.
The hard part of polling in 2024 is not ignoring swing states but in figuring out who is going to turn out to vote and who isnt.

She's leading national presidential poll against Trump, like Hillary.
I found a source that said she's leading trump in a few states. But I really don't see a difference between now and 2016.

Hillary was dominating trump in 2016 in Michigan and then she just lost it come election day.
Edit: and Harris barely beats trump in the battleground states. Polls really showed Hillary crushing trump in swing states, more so than Harris.
