If the question is, did he to overcome his deficit in the polls...

Myself, I'm not one to trust the polls one way or the other.

But since you seem to believe the polls, why are you ignoring the latest IBD and Rasmussen polls (and a couple others) that have Trump tied or ahead?

Because the accumulated weight of the polls is to the contrary. I believe in the averages to be more reliable even considering the history of the last election.

But let us assume that I am wrong, that the polls you cite which show a virtual tie or Trump slightly behind are accurate, the situation even so it is not much improved for Trump because of his daunting task of overcoming the Democrat advantage in the electoral college. Trump must virtually run the table of the battleground states, if he stumbles in the wrong place, or stumbles twice virtually anywhere, he loses. With the polls you cite, Trump runs a very high risk of failing to put together 270.

A loss in Florida would be fatal, a loss in North Carolina nearly fatal. Do you like his numbers in those states? Do you like his numbers in the other battleground states? Are you sure he will stumble or do you believe the odds are that he will somewhere?
