Biden’s 14-point lead in the NBC/WSJ poll ties the most lopsided October poll of the 2016 race, according to RealClear Politics’ compilation of polls. Biden’s 16-point lead in the CNN poll is the most lopsided October poll we’ve seen in any election in the 21st century. Biden’s 9.2-point lead in the RCP average of polls is his biggest since late July and the biggest general election lead of any race this century. That includes the Obama-McCain race, when Obama’s biggest average lead was eight points. Biden’s lead is as notable for its size as for how consistent it has been; his average lead hasn’t dipped below six points since May and never dipped below four points.
