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?
Cmon, its the final week. Were 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.

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