Anyone else make heads or tails of what is going on? My gut tells me this is a very close race.

I think it is closer than what the MSM believe. There are so many polls it makes you dizzy. All of us remember the unskewed polling fiasco back in 2012. We don’t want to repeat it again this year.

Sadly, I think Trump might win the popular vote, but I don’t think he has a path electorally.

"Michael ‏@socalmike_SD

Another huge discrepancy ABC has Clinton +8 with Independents, but IBD has Trump +16 with Ind. That's a 24 point difference #riggedpolls"

My gut tells me it is not a close race.

I may be wrong, but I feel a Trump landslide is possible, and the MSM is just trying to avoid even the hint of that conclusion.

“Deciding who is voting is an art “
Lot of games being played with “likely voter” profiles.
Early returns will clear that up a lot in the next few days.

I think the race is “fluid” at this point and could go either way. Lot of people wanting to vote against Hillary but Trump can’t grab them with the media onslaught against him. I think they’ll come around though.

The year’s electorate is more deviant than even standard.

Pat Caddell has called into question the methodologies of these polls. He has said people will be shocked come Election night

At some point this all becomes indeterminate - you can’t decide what mix of independent variables you will have in polls - like numbers of unaffiliated voters, who have an effect on the outcome - and then use your poll to describe the outcome in dependent variables - like how unaffiliated voters are going to vote - political shills, not skilled statisticians, are producing this garbage....

The poll question they should be asking is whether career criminal Clinton becoming president might cause millions of citizens to revolt and take the law into their own hands.

In my mind, either Trump becomes president, or the time for Revolution 2 has arrived. The career criminal Clintons running this nation is not an option.

Trump is having 6 rally’s over 3 days in Florida.

Trump seems to draw his biggest crowds in Florida. So I think it’s optics to show Trump with huge rallies and support. He’s trying to maintain momentum.

The pollsters have pulled out all the stops just like their colleagues the MSM. Do anything necessary to get the beast elected, even if that means having egg on face come the final vote.
