They’re finding it harder to hide the truth. I suspect Trump is well ahead, and the Democrats’ internal polls show this. It may explain why Hillary has stopped spending in Virginia.

The left has landed their knockout blows, but Trump is still standing strong as ever. And now the left is gassed.

And he has a big ol' ad budget sitting there virtually untouched.

That is because there never was a 12pt deficit, just bull crap propaganda we’ve been fed by the media who are trying to influence the outcome

Trump will win by a decisive result

Thank you, Colin Kaepernick

One of many reasons I'm sure. Donald Trump has had a lot of good things going for him lately.

Crooked Hillary is playing "prevent defense" - looking to run out the clock. But Donald Trump is controlling the ball and racking up points. She's going to have to get off that bench sooner or later.

More like the polls are “self-correcting” to show the more the actual state of the race. Trump was NEVER double digits behind. I still think they are shifting and weighting the results in favor of the Hildebeast but they can no longer maintain that kind of a lead for her and maintain their credibility.

Trump is an army probing for weaknesses in the enemy lines and has found several to exploit for the push forward that ends the war.

I think she’s still ahead in VA by a “beatable” margin. However, I think they pulled out of VA to go for knockout blows in FL and OH. That is clearly not working.

This election may come down to VA and PA.

I think Trump wins PA by a 4% margin. VA by a smaller one due to DC leeches voting for job preservationists coming out en masse (though the good people in the rest of the state will pull through). Trump has some remarkable appeal to blue collar workers that vote Dem in Western PA.

I hate being anecdotal, but I think this region (western PA) is wising up. If that’s the case, the deep red T in PA is going to be really red this time. That should offset Philadelphia nonsense and shenanigans.

I think Ohio and Florida are going to go > 5% for Trump.

I’m praying that Trump’s victory is a decisive one. I think he could accomplish more economically in his first 100 days than the past 16 years of trash that’s been running the show. If he wins big, the House and Senate will fall in line (or else they’ll be replaced :-).)

My predictions are just hunches and nothing more ... Ive paid decent attention to the past 6 POTUS elections ... This one is certainly going to be yuge :-).

To be honest Hilary played a large part in cutting her own level of support. Via corruption, racism, hiding, and a few other things people don’t like.

Poor pollsters. They’re being forced by the tick tock of the clock, to dial their numbers closer to reality.

Truth be told (which would kill them to do), Trump is probably already ahead by a comfortable margin.

“Wasn’t this the poll that adjusted it’s polling SPECIFICALLY to more favor Hillary?”

Yes.

For every 40 people polled the sample is:

23 Democrats
12 Republicans
5 Independents

And even with a 2:1 advantage Hillary is still in a dead heat with Trump - which means a LOT of Democrats are supporting Trump!!

MCauliffe (a devoted Clinton friend) will deliver Virginia to Clinton...he’s going against court order to let felons vote, took in refugees, and is prime for fraud.

They can go ahead. Those two bugs do not have the ability to persuade or change minds in any meaningful way.

All three of the daily tracking polls have been consistent showing neither Hillary or trump going up by mor the 2% each day.

I believe these polls to be the accurate ones. I believe the race is neck and neck right with a good number of undecideds (who should break for Trump by a 2-1 margin IMHO)

A 12 point swing is way beyond statistical noise.
