Why this race is so close?

40. There is a serious, possibly unwelcome answer.

A good number of people do not trust her and do not like her.

When the negative polling results are virtually equal between Hillary and Cheeto Hair, that is sending us a YUGE signal.

To complicate matters, her campaign seems tepid. Teh Donald manages to monopolize the TV coverage almost every day. Her coverage today was limited to a tweet she (or someone on her behalf) sent.

Whatever else Trump may be, deranged, sociopathic, psychopathic, delusional, or just an out and out liar, he is also a master at getting and holding the media's attention.

There was a editorial comic strip in today's Chi Trib. The topic was the total lack of Hillary's press conferences this year.

She herself has admitted that she is a lousy campaigner, and that is a problem, especially when Teh Donald repeatedly and consistently uses the media to define her. Her failure to strike back is worrisome.

The polls will get worse, and Team Hillary will have to redefine themselves yet again, just like they did against Bernie. Except, Bernie is a gentleman, something that is a concept alien, unthinkable, and unknown to Teh Donald.

From my point of view, they squandered too many opportunities during the primaries. They are repeating the same mistakes here and now. We can still lose this thing. If we do, she can only blame herself and what I believe has been a lousy campaign. Ten weeks and Teh Donald is getting closer each day? That should induce a colonic spasm so grand in her campaign staff that they will all need a new set of clothing.
