Nervous. But since bumps fade and now its a 3-4 point race, I'm hopeful that Clinton can hold on and finish strong as she has in previous races.

They should be at least nervous. I think Trump is going to vastly outperform the polls; I think we'll see that there are a lot of Trump voters out there who weren't willing to admit to supporting Trump to pollsters but will do so in the secrecy of the voting booth.

thus far there has been no evidence of that. Only evidence of the opposite: people who are saying they'll vote for Trump, but as soon as they get in that voting booth, reconsider that choice. And admittedly, even evidence of that is scant.

Well there can't be any definitive evidence for it (or against it for that matter) until the results of the election are in. But we do have some circumstantial evidence that supports my concern, and that is that Trump does better I online polls than in live polls.

do you mean legit online polls or online polls where it's like "vote 15 times for Trump"?

Because the NBC Survey Monkey poll does show Clinton up 6 as opposed to CNN (which I believe is live) showing Trump up by 2.
