of positive outcome. Light and dark blue she's got 272 (on cnn map) and based on polls. But, that's pretty tenative now too. CO only 1 point now.

They're a Republican firm (Not leaning, as in actually a Republican firm) that robo-calls landlines only and has a history of push polling.

I rarely jump on pollsters as being awful considering what I do, but this is a form who polls to drive a narrative not to assess where things actually stand.

Not satisfying, but we're in "saving the future of the country" mode here so a win is a win.

Day in & day out.

I truly believe Hillary is going to take this by a larger margin than most people are expecting. Could I be wrong? Of course! But I believe at the end of the day when the voting stops on November the 8th, we re going to be celebrating big time with a mandate!

Sam Wang has just as good of a record as Silver.

Still 90% on Upshot which takes both these sites and several others into consideration.

Race is naturally tightening but first round of post-Comey polling shows no measurable impact on Clinton's chances. 86% likely Clinton wins.
