In a two-way matchup, the former secretary of state had 50 percent support among likely voters, compared to 44 percent for the real estate mogul. Clinton's lead drops slightly, to 44 percent to Trump’s 40 percent, in a four-person contest, with Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson taking 9 percent of the vote and Green Party nominee Jill Stein receiving 4 percent.

3. That's too close for me.

4. National polls mean nothing, now.

A teaspoon of wine in a gallon of sewage makes sewage, and a teaspoon of sewage in a gallon of wine also makes sewage. National polls now invariably combine the sewage of a dozen intractable states with the fine wine of a growing landslide.

What's important now is the concentration of rational thought in all fourteen of 538's "tipping point" states, giving an extremely high probability of a smashing electoral victory.

5. Only 6 points. Stunning. She should be 30 points up.

We are surrounded by stupid and hate.,
