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.

How does that make any sense?

Hannity still pessimistic tonight. Says Trump is at least 5 electoral votes short. Is he right, oh great prognosticators? I think Trump’s got it.

Anecdotal...I live in East Lansing, big lib territory because of MSU....took a drive today kind of out in sticks...Trump Pence signs everywhere...NO Hillary signs...zero, none. No enthusiasm at all. I think Trump wins Michigan IF they dont’ cheat in Wayne county. That’s a big if though.

Nice. Who could have imagined MI?

And, Detroit doesn’t have as many live bodies as it used to.

I think Trump’s got it, too; but keep working like we’re behind and it’s close.

FBIanon on 4chan posted that rigging software doesn’t work over 4% somehow.

I'm hoping that when the East starts to go big time for Trump, the rest of the states prone to fraud will decide that it's all over and not even try to rig things.
