Question. Do you have an estimate on long will it take for the death of Justice Bader-Ginsburg to be reflected in the polls used in the Economist model?

The average person generally watches pundits on TV and may have an inaccurate view of the race and the Electoral College race. For example, the CNN Electoral College Map has Biden at 269 electoral votes and Trump at 169 electoral votes and NBC Electoral College Map as Biden at 290 electoral votes and Trump at 163 electoral votes. How much does that tell the viewer? It is usually hard to find an article explaining the current status of the Electoral College map. Is it worthwhile for the viewer? I'm not sure. Election forecasts provide a greater understanding of the status of the race than these maps.
