I like most things about Polls Plus. I like that it bakes in the convention bounce and VP home state bump. I'm not sure how I feel about adding the "Fundamentals"... it would make sense if the campaigns in question were headed by people that hue close to "Generic Democrat/Generic Republican" but I kind of feel like Trump and Clinton as candidates might cause standard indicators to be less prevalent.

Still it's good to have as a "Don't Freak Out" button.

If all the reports about Trump's ground game (or more accurately reports about the lack thereof) are accurate then I would expect Clinton to dominate early voting.
