Why landslide elections don't happen much anymore -- but could this year

Summary
For the first time in more than a generation there is a chance of a landslide victory. Polls consistently keep showing Republican nominee, Donald Trump, behind Democratic nominee, Hilary Clinton, as much as double digits.  
"At this point, a landslide is a real possibility," said David B. Cohen, political science professor at the University of Akron. "The fact that reliably red states like Georgia, Arizona, and Utah are in play point toward a huge potential triumph for Hillary Clinton." But, the election is more than 11 weeks away so it is still anyone's game.


Thinkers:Does this article show any bias? I feel that this is a fairly balanced article. Yes, it is saying that Hilary stands a better chance of winning. But, it does say that anyone could win.

How does this article apply to me? Yes, I am a registered voter. I Gov't teacher. And an active member of American society.
