He is still behind in most polls, BUT, one reason is that most of the polls still have samples selected from prior to the email scandal. We won't really know the impact until all samples are drawn after the scandal.
Sometimes I think you are trying to appropriate ACC's posting style right down to the verbiage.It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Well this is true and I'm not saying the poll isn't valid. Its just a small piece of a larger picture. I'll concede I was totally wrong about a landslide victory for HC but in my defense that was before this new stuff :P Maybe he pulls it off, IDK, but there is no doubt he's picking up momentum at the most critical time.
I like this site, too. Both do a good job.☻/

Yep, it's fair and shows how "all over the place" individual polls are, but you can make your own deduction from the "total".
Same here....and yes, hoping it's another 1980 . I believe the mix might be right for it in this election. But still, the damn Electoral College......it's still a high hill for DT to climb. It'll take a near miracle (as of today) for him to overcome it."If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

The polls are always rigged.
The pollsters know what they're doing and if anyone honestly thinks Trump was behind by 13 and is up by 1 in a week, I have some real bad news for you. If anything, this election cycle should have well proven by now to even the most ardent doubter that they're meaningless and only used to try and disenfranchise or alternatively motivate certain voter bases.
The polls will tighten right before the election, of course, because if they're saying Hillary is up by 13 on November 8th and she wins by 1-2 or actually loses, they end up looking like what they really are, which is charlatans, and they don't want that. So, magically, Trump is now neck and neck (even before the FBI bombshell). Right-o.
Many of us were around, if not overly political for the 1980 election. While I can't even speculate what will happen with this election, so far it's looking eerily similar to that one, at least with the biased polls.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

I should add: If it does go down that way, I fear DT acting like a child about it....even though he knows that it works this way.

Except that the polls are historically accurate. Cool (hope ACC doesn't use this word) thing about things like this is we can actually look back and see how accurate the polls were. Turns out they do a really good job of predicting the winner and are close in by what %. Of course not always like in 1980 but for the most part they are accurate. Just because some here don't like what they say doesn't invalidate the results. This election could be a wild card though. In one week we will see.

Hillary by 3
Go Tribe.
I was around for that one. Seems to me the polls were close until the failed hostage Desert One rescue attempt which Carter was pilloried for. After the election the news had stories of the Reagan people arranging to hold up the release until after the election to insure Carter was defeated. It worked.
I don't think this election is similar.
Politics is fun.............to watch.
