Local newspaper here in Scandinavia just had a news story that claims that Trump is leading now in the polls. hopefully this a mistake of some kind.

ABC News is screaming about a new poll that shows a 1 point national lead for Trump. I am really getting sick of the news trying to frame this as a close race. I get they have to have something to talk about and keep people coming back, but it's just insane. Trump not only had to sweep all 5 swing states, but also flip a solid blue state. He can't do it. Period.

There is a national poll here and there but all the state ones show little to no change since the weekend with Clinton easily in the lead

They were saying that on the weekend too. Yet NBC citing Survey Monkey says it hadn't moved one bit today. Clinton up +6 still.
 
Kind of hilarious that its going to take a story about wronging Hillary to bring Trumps ties to Russia to the forefront. Priorities.

I'd actually rather more coverage about "close" polls than not. Scare complacent Democrats in swing states to vote you know? In any case, at this point, I'd guess it's all about the GOTV efforts on the ground in the swing states. For all the bed wetting, Hillary in theory can have this wrapped up in the first hour or two of election night if she wins Florida and NC.

So Hilary is still very much the favourite to win? From the UK and haven't really been following for the past couple of weeks.
 
It had the vague "overall in the polls" in the story, so I don't know more than that.



Yes.

Saw that Iltalehti headline. It literally has no source at all, just saying Trump is leading the race. No mention which poll etc.

But then Iltalehti is to journalism what Trump is to presidential candidates.
 
I really hope this leads to a large-scale investigation when the election is over. They are actually conspiring with Russia. "B-b-b-but... Emails!"

The FBI is investigating a deliberate, years-long Russian effort by which Moscow co-opted Donald Trump, and the Republican Party candidate had, until very recently, a super-secret internet server, which carried heavy, two-way traffic between his Manhattan tower and a Russian bank with close ties to the Kremlin.

Mother Jones has reviewed that report and other memos this former spy wrote. The first memo, based on the former intelligence officer's conversations with Russian sources, noted, "Russian regime has been cultivating, supporting and assisting TRUMP for at least 5 years. Aim, endorsed by PUTIN, has been to encourage splits and divisions in western alliance."

It maintained that Trump "and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals." It claimed that Russian intelligence had "compromised" Trump during his visits to Moscow and could "blackmail him." It also reported that Russian intelligence had compiled a dossier on Hillary Clinton based on "bugged conversations she had on various visits to Russia and intercepted phone calls."
 
Unbelievable.

Civil servants sworn to protect their country sweep the foreign undermining of their democracy under the rug for the sake of petty party politics.

Insanity.
