It's a Democrat ploy. Get a poll out that says it's close to ensure people aren't complacent and do go vote. Since neither candidate in compelling, the Democrats need to make sure they get every vote out they can as a bunch of apathetic voters who stay home is a big risk to them and the way Trump gets through. Put the fear of Trump in everyone's head to make sure they are scared/worried about it and vote.
