There's less than 24 hours until election day. According to many political analysts, Democratic candidate Joe Biden is favored to win the presidency.
But remember this day 4 years ago? The polls also showed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton trouncing Donald Trump on election night. And as we all know now -- it went the other way.

So why should voters trust the polls this time? And how is the state of the race today different than it was - four years ago? What lessons have pollsters and analysts learned about our country's political makeup? And is there a chance for another repeat of 2016?
