The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly White House Watch survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 44% support to Clinton’s 37%. Thirteen percent (13%) favor some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

And.......

Latest NY Time / CBS poll has them tied at 40% each.

Rasmussen did say Mitt Romney would win the last election though. They made changes and they where more accurate in the 2014 elections. It is still better to subtract 2 points from any republican candidate though. Still looking good.

The first poll after the first debate will be interesting.

Probably just an elaborate conspiracy thread stolen from 4chan, but quite an interesting read. The anonymous author should try and get published, he's good.
This came out before the FBI decided against a prosecution recommendation. No lizard people, but still riveting.
tl;dr? Ignore the mail server, it's all about the Clinton foundation.

By lacking reference to lizard people I'm afraid this theory isn't crazy enough for me to subscribe to.

I'm still reading it actually, but it is good.

Sounds like total bullshit. Seriously, republicans are off with the fairies. It was probably done by one of Trump's people.

Hillary looks like she is in the lead at the moment -- http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/201 ... -forecast/

I think the big thing for Trump is to take Ohio, Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and retain all the states currently marked red.

Considering that Jill Stein appears to be drawing away some of the Sanders supporters and Gary Johnson may be able to make the debates (he's up to 13% in some polls with 15% being the magic number), I would not discount the impact that third parties will have this election cycle.
Nobody expects me...

Agreed, but third parties are always seemingly more influential several months ahead of the election than they are on election day. People want to express their support for the third party, but when it comes time to vote they will often vote for the less of the two most viable evils.
