17. She's not Joe Biden

Don't get me wrong. I love Joe Biden and think he has done a wonderful job as President. But, Joe has never been exciting. Even when he won in 2020 he was rather blah, not a great speaker and sometimes just plain boring. I think he won because people were sick and tired of Trump and would have elected anybody who was not MAGA. Add on all the aging stories of this year and his really bad debate performance and his numbers are suppressed from 2020. When you substitute a young, vital, cheerful candidate who is a much better speaker and again factor in the Trump fatigue that is even stronger than it was in 2020 and the result that Harris leaps ahead shouldn't be surprising.
