Of course it is...

...
As a matter of fact,.. it always is...

...
Can you think of a presidential election that wasn't?... (and I mean, before the election)...

...
They are always presented as neck and neck,... because,.. it has to be...
Media wants a horse race,.. for ratings...
Leaders want it to ensure turnout...
losers want it to prevent hopelessness, and loss of turnout...
Pollsters want it for profits...
... and the people want it,... for entertainment...
If the odds were, say,... 2 to 1,... voters would say,.. either "what's the use?,... or, "no need, it's sure thing...
... and no one would watch... and no one would vote...
... and polls are redundant...
It's always a neck and neck horse race...
Even if it ain't...
...but go vote anyway...

...
Just do it, knowing that you're in on the joke..
