28. Polls in key battleground states shifted towards TFG near the end of the campaign

In MI for example, Hillary's lead had fallen to within the margin of error.

" In late October 2016, Clinton's lead narrowed significantly towards the election. Trump also won the last poll conducted on election day 49% to 47%.[32] The average of the last three polls had Clinton leading Trump 47.6% to 45%"

TFG ended up winning the state by just 10,704 votes.

It's important to look at the margin of error when reading the polls. A poll showing a candidate having a lead of 3% with the margin of error being +/- 4% means the other candidate could still win.

Your comment:

"How is it that the reichstag agreed to end itself and hand over all powers to hitler?"

It was President Hindenburg that appointed Hitler to be Chancellor. Hitler was chancellor when the Reichstag fire happened and he convinced Hindenburg to sign the Reichstag Fire Decree into law which the Weimar Republic constitution allowed him to do. The Nazi's used this la to purge communist's out of the Reichstag which gave the Nazis and their allies majority control of the Reichstag.
