The primeval knuckle draggers will never change their minds.

Hillary has to get more support from those on the fence.

Hitler could come back from the dead, acquire American citizenship, get the Constitution changed, and HE'D get the same level of support. Yes, I'm serious.

I don't trust trust any one poll. Ths one is probably an outlier.
My system is to take the seven latest national polls. I throw out the widest gap poll and the narrowest gap poll and then average the remaining five.
The Public Policy Polling (PPP) poll (they poll for Democrats) was the most accurate poll in 2012.
Their latest poll has Clinton 50% and Trump 45%.
