the Democratic response to the last time they were completely wiped out in Presidential elections (e.g. Reagan/George H.W. Bush) was to move right with Clintonian triangulation there aren't a lot of things I'm sure of in politics these days, but "Dems will move right if wiped off the map" is one

i can't find the article on 538 but polls do start to weakly correlate with election results some months out which is i think why the model is a hybrid of polls and fundamentals at this point. closer to the election, polls become more determinative in the model.
