Dead heat: Clinton’s lead down to two points nationally and in Pennsylvania

Both nationally and in Trump’s most elusive battleground state, it’s anyone’s ballgame with the debates set to begin tomorrow.

As Election Day finally appears on the horizon, most GOPers are beginning to line up.

.. in Pennsylvania, where Muhlenberg finds Hillary’s 40/32 lead of a week ago shrinking to 40/38 now. Where’d that extra six points for Trump come from? You know where:

“Partisans coming home to their nominee is an expected part of any campaign as you get into the closing days,” said Chris Nicholas, a GOP consultant based in Harrisburg. “What’s notable here is the very large shift and we’re not close to the final days.”

A demographic analysis showed a double-digit jump in Trump’s support among Republicans after Trump underperformed with that group previously. This week, 85 percent of likely GOP voters said they’d choose him over Clinton, compared with 71 percent in the prior survey.

While Johnson had appeared to peel away some Republicans from Trump, that effect diminished this week, Borick said. Johnson fell by 6 points in the four-way matchup, while Trump gained by the same figure.

---------------------------------------

Not only that, but more Trump voters in PA say they’re voting for him than against Hillary, which is unusual.

---------------------------------------

Trump leads among white men without a college education by 59 farking points. That’s exactly the sort of world-beating margin he needs among his base to pull this off. And his margin might not be done growing. Check out this trendline:

-------------------------------------------

Tomorrow is Trump’s chance to show the country that he knows his stuff and there’s really nothing Clinton can do to stop him. If he answers seriously and cogently and puts a dent in those “unqualified” numbers in the next round of polls, he’s the new favorite in November. Simple as that.

It is not possible for every presidential election cycle to go through a dead heat phase right before voting. How many times is this now? Every election since the 70s?

There’s a live debate thread on FR. Nikos started it early because there’s so much pre-debate TV coverage and a chance for all of us to weigh in. Join in if you’d like.
