Should we succumb to the temptation to freak out about an individual poll, which data nerds tell us we must never do? Or should we calmly remind ourselves that the polling average is usually a more reliable indicator of the state of the race than any one survey is?
C’mon, it’s the final week. We’re entitled to a little freaking out. SurveyUSA has it Trump 51, Clinton 44:
Almost a third of respondents in the WRAL News poll ranked trustworthiness as the most important consideration in voting for president. Positions on issues were rated most important by 40 percent, while experience and character were far behind at 17 and 8 percent, respectively.
Of those ranking trustworthiness most important, 83 percent favor Trump. He also wins among those most concerned about issues, 52 to 43 percent. Clinton was favored by 93 percent of those most concerned with experience, and she doubled up Trump among voters concerned about character, 58 to 26 percent…
Clinton’s sizable lead in North Carolina’s metro areas also has eroded since early October. Her 64 to 27 percent lead among urban voters three weeks ago is down to 53 to 43 percent, and her 9-point lead in the suburbs is now a 2-point deficit. Meanwhile, Trump has extended his lead among rural voters from 18 to 26 points....

How’s it going in PA, NM, CO, NH? And WI, MI? (I’ve given up on VA, because too much of it is a suburb of DC).
Good signs in most of those, IIRC.

Unpossible. WaPo said today Hillary is ahead in NC, has always been ahead in NC and her lead has never wavered. Deplorables need to just give up, NC is clearly lost, so just sit home and forget about voting.
And THAT my friends is why they are buying ads in upstate New York, saw my first this last Saturday. They want the landslide!
Thanks for posting.
Very good news. If it’s happening in NC, it’s happening in other states too.
The question is does Trump have enough time to cross that threshold
in other states too.
This is reminding me of the scene in the movie “Miracle”.. 30 seconds left, the US leading 4-3. Herb Brooks and Dan Patrick look over at the Soviet bench and notice they aren’t pulling their goalie. “ THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!”
Another poll Fox CNNews will never mention.
Pray America wakes
A Trump Superpac is launching ads $25M in a bunch of swing states including Virginia, WI, NM, and Colorado.
Ads... now’s the time to place them!
NC and FL are good. We need PA, WI, or CO.

Right. Polls cited on Fox News invsriably show the beest in command. I imagine the other networks still have her up in double digits.
Lets take all three!
Another favorable NC poll for Trump will cause the RCP’s average to flip. Right now it favors the witch by .07
Hot air use to be conservative lol now they are a bunch of never trumpets....
FBIanon on 4chan posted that rigging software doesn’t work over 4% somehow.
Can’t find the post.
I bet Nevada soon flips, too. Right now it is +1 Cankles.
