“I believe this is wishful thinking.”
The Mitchell Poll is basically a tracking poll that comes out every few days. Trump was down by 12% 4 weeks ago. He has gained 4% each week since then in this poll. You don’t need to wish on a star for MI; you could see this one coming day to day.
Here is my issue. I think the poll is a 5 point D advantage. It was double that in 2012. Not saying it would be the same, but that seems like too much. I do see at least 3 polls though showing trump closing within 4-6 points in last week.
