Polls in 1980 had Carter +9 in mid-October of that year!

Love that, going to tweet it to Trump.

Of course, they magically tightened the weekend before the election, didn't they?

FWIW, it has been more than a week since I've seen a Trump ad here in pivotal SW Pennsylvania. Hillary seems to be every third ad. She has a new one on about how she is going to create millions of new jobs, namely:

1. Make them pay their fair share of taxes.
   
2. Charge them an exit tax if they leave the U.S.

Why has nobody ever thought of this before? < / sarcasm >

its been awhile but there was an in depth study of pols here on FR and how they almost ALWAYS give Dems an advantage right up to the final week at which point the Republican candidate closes the gap if behind or surges if he is ahead....they want there last poll to be close to accurate

it was quite an eyeopening study...wish i could find it again
