Nobody’s come anywhere close to any of that kind of winning margin since Reagan in 1984. The closest being Bush Snr beating Dukakis by 10%, which was in part from the Reagan magic.

Even as an incumbent, Obama only managed to beat Romney by 2.98% in 2012. Despite Obama using the IRS to terrorize Romney supporters or anyone who made political contributions to Romney or the TEA parties.
With his abysmal enthusiasm gap deficit to Trump it's hard to even conceive of Biden winning at all, let alone winning by a fantasy land 15% as CNN is insisting he will.
