Not if idiots stay home because "Clinton has in the bag" or vote for Johnson/Stein because "Clinton has it in the bag".

My doomsday bunker will have a plentiful supply of Surge and almost every major romantic comedy released in the last 20 years if anyone is interested.

im telling you guys, people reacted badly to her Alt Right speech, probably thought she was calling Trump a racist (which is is!) and didnt like it
After Brexit, anything is possible :/
The media has a vested interest in making this race seem closer than it may be.
In addition, a general poll of the nation is worthless in terms of determining who would actually win, you need a state by state breakdown to really find the state of the race.
As George W proved, you can easily lose the popular vote but still win the presidency, although such a case may mean Clinton would start out a wounded animal.

People who call themselves independents are generally more republican-leaning than democrat.

Keep in mind that most of these polls are done on landlines. That should say a bit about who is answering the questions.

Neither choice is good but it's insane that trump is ahead, absolute insanity.
Self described Independents are closet GOP in the modern age. Stigma is terrible.

independents are just republicans too embarrassed to be directly associated with the party.

Election season is the biggest revenue generator for networks, of course the polls are close, they want more ad money.

Yikes! Missed that, welp.... Guess if he wins we just watch it all burn?
Or rather, most people who identify as independent are generally consistent Republican or Democratic voters. The amount of independents whose vote is actually up in the air in an election is relatively small.
Against my better judgement, I check in on CNN and the like once a day, and it feels like it's been literal weeks since I've seen a Clinton headline. It's all Trump, all the time, and mostly positive if you don't read into the stories too closely ("oh, he met with a black church? See, he's reaching out!").
Hillary has been a complete non-issue, except for her involvement Clinton Foundation ("pay to play!) and round 12 of those dastardly emails ("corrupt and incompetent!"). She's essentially resting on her laurels letting Trump define himself, but the problem is that he's also out there defining her, with a bigger megaphone and an all too complicit media helping him spread the word.

It's happening.
over confidence
Well the NBC poll this morning had Clinton +4. So this poll is either just noise or a sign of things to come. Who knows. This CNN poll in particular will probably attract more attention because it shows a Trump lead.

This is a horse race you guys. Pls believe we've got a horse race on our hands.
Hillary is in fact a great choice if you look at her voting record (93% identical to Bernie) and experience (senator, First Lady, Secretary of State. Achieved great success in a man's game, at a time when women in politics had to put up with way more bullshit than they do today).

Polls are irrelevant since she's dying anyway.
They should be polling Tim Kaine.

All within the margin of error. Basically Trump is drawing even.

A single poll? Not in the aggregate? Then who cares.
