The frustrating thing about the polls is that we don’t know how much of Hillary’s drop was real. How much was the press overstating the case for Hillary in the past and now moderating their polls closer to reality?

And to the extent that the change is real, there is a sad realization that the change is probably driven more by a realization that Hillary is physically unfit to do the job, rather than that our citizenry has carefully examined the issues and are voting for Trump because he is best for the nation.

If Hillary's drop went to the undecided column, or a third party, that would still be a concern. But it looks like they are going to Trump. Part of it is the influence of Kellyanne Conway.

I think once people make the decision to go with Trump, it's much easier for him to keep them in November, than it is for him to still try to win them over. That's why people keep pointing to the 50% mark as a key milestone.

Because the polls are rolling averages, and the real clear goes back to polls that were taken as much as 10 days ago, you don’t get much satisfaction from a trend until long after the trend is obvious.

Trump had better be doing his work on the debates. Because Hillary is toast now. But they will try very hard to trap him in a debate. The first debate is the big one. Everyone watches the first one. And nobody watches the last one. Trump needs to understand that these debates are far different from those earlier debates.
