Is the presidential election so close because Biden has refused to take immigration concerns and BLM violence seriously ?

This election should have been a walkover for Biden and the Democrats . He was faced with a sitting president who has proved  incompetent , dishonest and blatantly abusive of his power .

But instead , Biden is in a neck and neck race for the presidency . 

Do you think ,like I do , that it is because Biden and the Democrats have  arrogantly refused to listen to the legitimate concerns of many Americans about the impact that  mass immigration his having on their lives, and also because of their supine response to the BLM movement's dishonest ,and violent exploitation, of the recent black deaths during arrest .

Had Biden and the Democrats addressed these issues honestly and publicly ,would they have got the landslide they should have ? 

Update:

PS : As a point of clarification -- I don't deny that up to (say) 40 % of the electorate would have voted for Trump because they actually " support and believe" in him -- but Biden and the Democrats did too little to persuade the "swing" voters of their willingness to tackle these critical issues of concern

    No.  That's probably the furthest from the truth.  Some people falsely believe that Trump is good for the economy and handled Covid well.  Others believe Trump's lies that Biden is a socialist.  Add in the fact that it's extremely difficult to defeat an incumbent POTUS and you get this very close race.

    Oh that again. After Trump says he needed them to put him over the top. Make up your minds as it is.
