and I don't want to give it any more credit than that.

The slim margins represent a major departure from recent polls suggesting Abbott was extending his lead, which had grown to 8.7 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics polling average.[my emphasis added]

But according to all the polls I've looked at, it's still an outlier. I don't like putting my faith in a poll just because it favors my side. I take a more realistic view.
