Yeah, that CNN poll with Trump leading by 1 was a total joke.
Nah, because polls always reflect voter sentiment at a given time.
It could have been the Hillary pneumonia and the deplorables thing. Or ad spending by Trump, which pushed him to a tie a few weeks ago.
That doesn't mean the poll was wrong at that given time. Other polls showed a close race too.
But the debate brought back the educated voters into the Clinton camp it seems.
The deplorables thing did absolutely nothing so let's dispel with that fiction. Is it realistic to say she was sliding at the time? Yes. But I don't buy the idea that voters are actually that elastic. Hillary's campaign internals suggested CO was still in the blue wall, while that CNN poll was maybe 6-8 points too Trump-friendly. That's kind of ridiculous.
