True, but with him continuing to trend upwards this close to election day, it's certainly not a good sign.

			Gap is quickly closing and if you extrapolate to Tuesday it's going to get worse, but it should stabilize a bit. It's just been tanking the last 48 hours.   |

			After the Cubs win, a Trump win is the only thing left needed to send the meteor on it's course to Earth. So I guess if you were backing the meteor over Hillary and Trump, you should vote Trump to get on with it.

			Trump up to 35% this morning. The model has him taking Florida, NC, and Nevada. Puts him really close to 270 now. This is turning into a nail biter all of a sudden. 
EDIT: Just saw this comment on 538: when it was 3-1 Nate said the Cubs odds of winning the WS were the same as Trumps winning the election.

The 538 map today is about as good as it can get for Trump (AZ, NV, FL, OH, NC, IA, UT), and he is stalled at 244.

How does he get any further?

			Obama won by 2.7% and it wasn't really considered a nail biter.  Part of it is perception, Clinton seemed far ahead and the race coming back to recent historical norms seems dramatic.  Part of it is the risk, if Romney defeats Obama it's unfortunate, but it's not like Romney will drive the bus off the cliff on purpose while Trump promises to set things back decades.  Part of it is uncertainty and volatility, Obama at 2.7% was easier to not wet the bed over since the polls were so stable, while this election it's been much more variable, and there are a lot more undecideds plus more unusual patterns.

I honestly don't think he'll take all three of Florida, Nevada, and North Carolina.
 
It's definitely scary right now and way too close than it should be.  But I still think Clinton wins.

			A couple more good polls for Trump (and one awful one too). And not good news for everyone's favorite Mormon candidate
 CO: Clinton 39, Trump 39, Johnson 5, Stein 4 (University of Denver)
 FL: Clinton 49, Trump 45, Johnson 3, Stein 1 (FOX 13/Opinion Savvy)
 NH: Trump 40, Clinton 39, Johnson 10, Stein 3 (WBUR/MassINC); Trump 48, Clinton 43, Johnson 4, Stein 1 (ARG)
 UT: Trump 37, Clinton 31, McMullin 24, Johnson 4, Stein 1	(Monmouth)

			Maybe that white nationalist robocall in UT did some damage.  Weird to me that Trump is leading in NH with that poll.

			Ugh...those aren't good polls for Clinton.  However without Florida, Trump is toast.  The four latest polls I've read show her being up there (CNN, Quinnipiac, Opinion Savvy, SurveyMonkey).
 That Colorado poll is disappointing though.  Hillary has been up in pretty much every poll there going back weeks. WTF?
