What is going on? I keep hearing about positive polls here on DU and 538 keeps lowering Clinton's chances every five minutes. Any explanation that makes any sense?

Monmouth poll is an outlier right now... davidn3600 Sep 2016 #13

It should be compared to recent Fla polls Proud liberal 80 Sep 2016 #15
