Trump +11 in Texas is my guess.
Also wow that Indiana poll dragged Trump's chances of winning down by a lot.

Herp a derp. Yeah, I'm an idiot. For some reason I think "Texas" and my mind automatically goes to that ridiculous 35th district connecting chunks of Austin and San Antonio and how stacked the game is, state-wide.
538 is definitely ready for a Trump collapse at this point, so any poll showing a normally red state close is going to be taken as implying an ongoing trend towards blueness in that state.

eh she may come ouat a +10 in texas and it may fluctuate +/- 2% for the duration of the election while she flubs every explanation for whatever else is in the emails.

It actually helps it go blue. The Republican vote is going to be split among three candidates now.

This makes it more likely. Needed a potential vote-splitter for conservative voters so Hill can sneak in and win the state w/ 34-35% of the vote.
McMuffin being on the ballot probably isn't enough with limited name recognition. If Romney endorses him, however, that might do the trick.
BTW, thanks to the poster who shared a potential answer to my earlier question.

Nah. All those moderate morms in Clinton's camp and those in Trump's are going to flock behind one of their own. My Mormon friends are orgasming as we speak.
That's just what the failing, final fantasy delaying NeoGAF moderation team wants you to believe. Sad.

I just did the biggest eye roll I've ever done reading this post.
Edit: Also, did you mean Trump +10 or Hillary? I assumed you meant Trump.

It's an internal poll, it's worth taking it with a grain of salt.

So Texas would be around +7 Trump, which is pretty reasonable given the overall current swing.

Trump up by 5-8 seems likely then.
I mean, this is a Democratic internal poll from two weeks ago. If Trump showed us an internal poll where he was tied in Virginia I'd be equally skeptical.

If Johnson's only getting 6 in the poll, I'll go with Trump up by 9. Single digits is huge. If it's within 5, holy hit...but 9 is where I'm at right now.

I don't..
Any explanation?
Boy that looks worse than it is
Losing 4 points nationally in like a week?
Oh man, don't panic
Shit will tighten up, I know that.

Prediction Trump is up 3 in Texas.
Can't speak to Clinton and Trump being tied in Indiana, but the gov/Senate numbers seem to be pretty in line with everyone else.

The explanation is that a series of lower quality and more Trump friendly polls have come out lately and the TPM tracker doesn't have any weighting. If you look at the 538 weighted average Clinton is holding steady while Trump slowly erodes:

Please don't use that aggregate. It's terrible. Like, absolutely terrible. The whole thing is brought down because of one Morning Consult poll.
Use pollster.com. Upshot, PEC and 538 have all moved towards Hillary in the last few days. There's. literally, no reason whatsoever to be worried at the moment. Even Nate has mentioned there's no real evidence that her bump has gone anywhere.
Personally, I think the race will settle in the 5-7 point aggregate lead for Hillary.

Chill dude.
There's only been one poll since 8/10 in that average! And the ones on 8/9-8/10 were 42, 43, 42 and 49.
This has happened time and time again in the past couple weeks. A shitload of tracking or low-quality polls drag down the average, then the occasional quality poll comes in at +6 or +8.

Interesting that they're using it. I seem to recall in the past Nate not using internal polls on the grounds that they tend to be leaked selectively.

Hillary moving resources there would be huge, and potentially help downballot (Bayh doesn't need the help, but Gregg might depending on how the campaign goes).
Do it, I want to see Indiana go two out of three.

Yup. Josh even had a post about this over the weekend where he filtered the results by the major media polls.

Saw it, heard it, thought I was hallucinating. Also said to disregard Trump being on record as being in favor of the Iraq war in 2003 because he was a private citizen at the time he said it...
Believe.
Bah... She'll get 350. Maybe.
