It's actually a pretty standard metric(case study's from past campaigns); I'm sure Larry Sabato and his associates have\will be posting on this at the Crystal Ball(I believe one of them is Emory professor Alan Abramowitz)
Kos mentions it today in his post; another poster at Kos posts about today's presidential polling and brings this topic up as well, but he states the impact as being 2-4%(I have never seen the 2-4% metric ever used; it's generally agreed at 2-3% if funded, staffed, and executed properly)
I should add further that the Trump campaign has outsourced it's entire field campaign to the grifters at Turning Point USA(which I speculate will be disastrous)
A lot of communities respond well to having a presence. And do not if you don't show up. Rurals. South FL.
The idea that the absence of a ground game did not negatively impact Biden's performance is highly suspect to me. Borderline nuts.
I mean, why does every campaign ever do it, then?
Vast majority leaves a lot out there. 3%? Five? That is a total strawman.
It's pretty much a given by campaign pro's that a solid ground game funded and staffed can get between 2-3% higher turnout in the targeted states
Where are you getting that figure from? I feel like some pros have suggested 1% and maybe 2% at the outside.

Also, I'm thinking Kos might have mentioned this either yesterday or today; going to recheck
