Only 19 days before this year's presidential election, it is worth looking at the state of the race in Michigan, the site of Donald Trump's most surprising victory in 2016.
On paper it is tempting to say that things appear to be more or less exactly where they were at this point four years ago.
If anything, Hillary Clinton's seemingly insurmountable 11-point lead in polling averages on Oct.
15, 2016, seems far more discouraging than the seven-point one currently held by Joe Biden.
One anomaly is the apparent closeness of the Senate race.
