There actually hasn't been much erosion in HRCs poll numbers

Take a look at this graphic:

There has been an expansion of one of the tails of the distribution toward Trump, slightly. The body of the distribution is more or less where it's been for a long time. And the sampling density of polls was much higher near the conventions. If we had more frequent polling I am fairly sure we'd fill in the middle of that distribution more!

It has definitely tightened, but I still think she will win. It is a shame that she could not keep the momentum she had coming out of the convention. I do not blame her for that, it is all the media. That was the most shameless three weeks I have ever seen in election reporting. Fuck the AP.
