Actually its the 3rd. All three recent polls including Gravis which has a joint polling venture with Breitbart has it within 4. I do not think Clinton will win S,C, but it certainly is closer than it should be for Trump.

You know things are bad when members of Trumps team are quoting The Gateway Pundit as proof of polling bias and his manager is on TV talking about the hidden Trump vote. Kind of like the Bradley vote theory in 2008 that was parroted by McCain supporters. People are simply not telling polling companies the truth because it's not socially desirable to do so.

And so could Trump. But it's a lot harder for him to get there, since he can realistically count on winning only one of the 6 most populous states.

Yeah Trump has basically two ways to get there according to the polling. He can either hold NC and win PA,OH,FL,IA,and NV or he can win all of them sans PA and including NH.

Nothing says more about the state of this race than the fact that Trump supporters are giddy over a poll that shows their guy losing as badly as Romney lost in 2012. Talk about setting the bar low for 'good' news...

Who's giddy? Trump has been the underdog from day 1.
