Just before the first presidential debate Monday night, a new round of polls has been released that should strike fear into the hearts of Democrats.
First off, the national race is looking very tight indeed. Democrats had hoped that Clinton had rebounded after a couple of respected polls last week showed her taking a 6-point lead over Trump. But the newest polls from major outlets — ABC News/Washington Post, Quinnipiac, and Bloomberg — show Clinton up 2, up 1, and down 2 to Trump in a four-way matchup that includes Gary Johnson and Jill Stein.
But what’s probably scarier for Clinton is that occasional polls are now coming out showing Trump leading Colorado — a state that has been a key part of Clinton’s most likely path to victory.
Indeed, this new round of polling has been enough to tip FiveThirtyEight’s “now cast” model, meant to show who would win the election if it were held today, into projecting a Trump win.
Keep in mind that FiveThirtyEight’s other two versions of its model still show an extremely narrow Clinton edge, and every other major model still gives Clinton the edge too, as you can see at the Upshot. So overall, Trump’s not the favorite yet.
But the Colorado news especially helps suggest a plausible path to an Electoral College victory for Trump, which he hasn’t had in some time, and suggests that what some have dubbed a “firewall” for Clinton may no longer be so secure....

Even Vox is letting the tow line slip away.

Some Freepers are suggesting that we are going too far ahead of ourselves by dismissing MSM polls showing Hildebeast is always ahead. However, if their report on Hildebeast’s health is any indication, they would manipulate polls in a heart beat. I tend to believe that they have been discounting Trump support.

Tighter and tighter the election becomes - otherwise the DNC media would have to admit Trump is ahead.
