Some pretty good poll numbers for Clinton released today from Ipsos:

Florida: +4
North Carolina +4
Ohio: tied
Arizona: +1

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/...ecast/updates/

Then again, there's a good chance these leads might evaporate by this time next week once yesterday's email scandal hits the polls.

Also, it is very telling that apparently one ballot was cast by .5 of a person. Proof that the election is rigged.

Holy crap, that's a massive jump from just a couple of days ago when he was at 19%. We're officially back in scary territory, folks. I have a bad feeling this thing is gonna end up being a nail biter right to the finish, and all because of Anthony Weiner's laptop. Unreal.

NBC Monkey Tracking poll has Clinton up +7 in a two way. +6 four way. What about a threeway?

This kinda explains why Clinton's at 75% to win despite having a larger lead in the popular vote than Obama won over Romney with, having an 85% chance to win the popular vote. Just because she makes big gains in Texas, enough to shift the popular vote close to a full point, doesn't mean she'll get those EC votes.

Also their model doesn't take into account any ground game advantage.

Betting odds have been fairly stable since Friday night, 75/24

The money does not know where to go with the latest news.

I don't believe Trump has any actual chance of winning, even with these new so called revelations. As awful as Hillary Clinton is as a candidate, I firmly believe Trump has a chance of winning closer to zero. Those polls are flattering to him. Come voting day he's going to get crushed.

6% increase in odds is nothing. It still means Clinton has a 75% chance of winning. Oh the drama! The electoral path is still pretty much zero for Trump. Start worrying when it's 50/50. As it is I still don't see enough activation of the Republican base to move the needle. The support Trump has is what he's got. He isn't moving above that. Silver is softening the numbers to hedge his bets, just like he rest of thon media. If they had any sack and called Trump on his bull#### this would be done and Drumpf would have been put away a long time ago.

Hillary has lost 2% of her 7% lead and still leads by 5% which is more then Obama beat Romeny by and that election wasn't considered particularly close. The risk is that the polls
Today haven't fully baked in the FBI yet.

I'm not worried until around 3% as that puts it within polling error.

That methodology is a bit flawed, but as per your definition I imagine you are now worried this morning.

Trump has a 40% chance of winning, or more to the point he needs some combination that yields 35 electoral college votes. But that obviously isn't that many votes. Ohio is his, there hasn't been a poll showing Hillary in front there for a long time. Polls in Florida have been slightly towards Hillary, but within the margin of error and when you apply the "Florida ######ation scale" it probably means a Trump win there too. So I'm giving him a 40% chance he can get the remaining 35 votes he needs. North Carolina is his biggest problem though, if he could simply hold that we'd be looking at a straight up 50/50 race.

Florida still Republicans with a razor thin lead in early voting.

Total Ballots cast: 4,077.521
Total Vote By Mail: 2,054,519 (50.4%)
Total Early Vote: 2,023,002 (49.6%)

Republicans: 1,648,603 (40.4%)
Democrats: 1,632,677 (40.0%)
NPA: 769,241 (19.6%)
Total Margin: GOP +0.39%

Unreturned vote-by-mail ballots look like this: 41D-35R-24NPA, meaning 79,658 Democrats apparently think watching cat videos is more important than putting a stamp on their ballot.

A 25% chance of anything happening is a significant chance. Of course it's worth being concerned about, especially when it's a 25% chance of... this.
