Profound rifts among groups lie beneath the close presidential contest, underscoring the country’s fundamental political divisions not only by race, gender and education but also by factors ranging from religious belief to residential area.

Overall, likely voters divide 47-45 percent between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll. Third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein have 3 and 2 percent support, respectively.

Note: I am typing the word "poll" into google (set on the NEWS category) and posting new polls that have not yet been posted to Late Breaking News.

Nothing is being "cherry picked", so if any poll results are unsettling please don't shoot the messenger. Yesterday I was the victim of a semi-witchhunt for doing this.

Why do this? First, because it IS late breaking news. Second, to fight any complacency if polls actually ARE tightening. Third, as a protest against those that would try to censor or intimidate people into not posting topics that they just don't like. This IS Democratic Underground, posting from reputable sources should not be censored. Thank you.

3. What do you do with a semi-witch?

Tie him/her to a stake by one hand and make her/him uncomfortably warm?

7. lol!

The witch only has partial power too and what is he/she cannot undo their spells! Back to Hogwarts!

4. It's continuing today ...

Obviously. lol

But seems to be running out of steam as more polls are posted. The fact that anyone can check the google NEWS results for the word "poll" themselves and see for themselves has taken a lot of wind out of the witch hunter's jibs. lol

Cheers.

Hopefully, turnout will turn OH blue too. Latinos may make the difference in Texas. They are already turning Fl, AZ and NV blue.

9. The demographic breakdown is very very interesting:

Clinton's margin over Trump, in percentage points:

GENDER: Men: -11, Women: +11,

RACE: Whites: -14, Nonwhites: +51, Blacks: +81, Hispanics: +40

EDUCATION: No college degree: -12, College grads: +21, White, no degree: -32, White, college grad: +12

Among whites: Men, no degree: -38, Men, college grads: -4, Women, no degree: -28, Women, college grads: +27

INCOME: <50k$: +5, 50k-100k: -3, 100K+: +9

RELIGION: White catholics: -13, Non-evangelical white protestants: -20, Evangelical White Protestants: -58, No religion: +39

10. So Trump's core supporters are white men and women with no degree (38%, 28%) by huge margins

no surprise there. Education correlates with voting Hillary.
