Top Pollsters Expect Clinton To Win (OCT 18, 2016)

Top Pollsters Expect Clinton To Win
By Carl Bialik OCT 18, 2016 AT 3:01 PM

Top public election pollsters are almost unanimous in their belief that Hillary Clinton will be the next president and are pretty sure that Republicans will retain control of the House. But they’re much less sure about who will control the next Senate. Many also anticipate a bigger gap than usual between late polling and the election result.

Those are some of the highlights from FiveThirtyEight’s latest poll of people working at some of the most prominent polling firms in the country.

Hillary will win, certainly.
I believe her #'s are greater than the polls tell us at this point.

One is some wingnut named "Gabriel Joseph" who's also predicting Republicans with 55 Senate seats.
