Of course the polling lags to an extent, and that can be significant when it is trending sharply in a given direction. Her odds went from 80ish% to around 70ish% in a very short time, as the scandals rocked her. So in reality, by Election Day, her odds were still probably slipping ever further.

Trends entering the last week now are steady and slightly in Joe’s favor. Dare I say that I am becoming cautiously optimistic.

Trumpistan, by the way, has shown its true colors over the past week or 10 days (as if it hadn’t already, but starkly now). I’ve said it before - they mocked all those who thought Trump only won because of scandal. But they have made clear that they themselves see scandal as Trump’s only hope now, and while they won’t admit it, probably know that was true in ‘16 too. The true witch hunters. The Trumpistani propaganda machine.

They got nothing else - they know Trump is not worthy of the office, and all they can do is lurch from claim to claim about how the other candidate is even worse!
