The "concern" trolls deserve to be banned, but the polls show Clinton's campaign that their strategy so far is not working and they need to adjust.

the election isn't in September. Polling firms are making a fortune posting polls every Presidential election polling firms around two to three months before call the election DEAD HEAT!! or to close to call.Even the Carter Reagan election was called a dead heat before the landslide

They are up, everyone is happy and wants to share. When they are down, the detractors want to depress everyone.

Good luck stopping them.

If you were to put some additional content in your op, discussing how so many people have no clue how to read polls and what can actually be taken away from them, that would be a solid discussion.
