This election, even if Biden wins, has revealed just how divided and polarised America isFor months leading up to the American election, political analysts had been insisting that this election was more a referendum on Donald Trump rather than an assessment of the suitability of Joe Biden as president. While Biden is leading the popular vote, the margins are far closer than the polls had predicted. Yes, Biden has been able to improve a lot upon Hillary Clinton’s performance, but so has Trump in his own performance.
