Hillary Clinton’s Lead Has Shrunk, but She Still Has an Edge

Nate Cohn, The Upshots elections analyst, based in Washington, and Toni Monkovic, an Upshot editor in New York, discussed a big day of polling results, posting a lightly edited transcript of their written exchange.
Toni After a quiet period, the polls poured in over 24 hours. What are the big takeaways?
Nate I think the quick ones are that Hillary Clintons standing has deteriorated a bit since last month, but that she still has an advantage.
Toni Lets start by looking at the bad news for her. The first polls of the day, from Quinnipiac, probably panicked a lot of Democrats.
FLORIDA: Trump 42, Clinton 39
PENNSYLVANIA: Trump 43, Clinton 41
OHIO: Clinton 41, Trump 41
Nate Yeah, the Quinnipiac polls arent great for Clinton. Quinnipiac polling has generally tilted toward the G.O.P. all year, so its reasonable to suppose that Clintons standing in those states would be a bit better in other polls. But theyre still consistent with a narrower race than the one suggested by most polls over the last month.
The NBC/WSJ/Marist polls were in that category as well. Their top-line numbers were better for Clinton than the Quinnipiac surveys, but they were still weaker for Clinton than their past surveys.

The numbers differ from poll to poll, but they all show the same big picture: Trump has the momentum.

The poll number are just getting stacked to set Clinton up as the new media proclaimed “Comeback Kid” just like they did for Bill 20 years ago.
BTW , the “super popular” Bill Clinton never go more than 42% of the vote.

She has the Press, and mostly democrats count and have control over votes cast.

Hillary Clinton is a true cutting edge candidate if I have ever seen one.
I mean, seriously, what can we do to make this blithering, cross eyed, donkey toothed, wood gnawing, lying, slithering criminal dolt president right now!?

the hag's edge; BLM, illegal aliens, massive vote fraud and if those don't work, she can always resort to the assurance of the Clinton standby order of an old time mafia style hit on her person of threat. That seems to have worked quite well for the Clintons in the past.
To: Clintonfatigued
Remember people, we have Paul Manafort on our side, he's nothing to sneeze at...’herself’ is going down, they might try voter fraud, it isn't going to work this time...you can bet all those voting machines will be checked and double checked!!!
We are on our way to a Beautiful, Glorious Great America once again with Trump leading us...are we ready to win all the time? You bet we are!!!
GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!

Her edge is two fold: her vast number of supporters who know she is untrustworthy, corrupt, and a liar but hate Trump so much they will stick with her, and she is counting on Republican never-Trumpers (Kristol, Romney, Jeb, et al) to defect and vote for her.

I believe this. I really do. Hitlery is a cult leader, and her hero Hussein is working in the Alinsky tradition to destroy liberty.
We will have to work overtime to defeat these fascists.

Agreed. How many blue districts will have 110% turn out and not a single Republican vote? I hope those idiot RINOs are preparing for this.
