Hillary Clinton has a large and perhaps growing lead in the nation and in many of the predominantly white battleground states where Donald Trump was thought to have his best shot, according to a wave of new surveys released in the last two days.
Three national surveys — from Fox, NBC/WSJ and Marist/McClatchy — showed Mrs. Clinton ahead by big margins: 10, 9 and 15 percentage points. It’s the worst polling stretch for a presidential candidate at this stage since John McCain in mid-October of 2008.
It’s a little hard to make sense of it all, in part because the timing is a little unusual. This ought to be the heart of Mrs. Clinton’s post-convention bounce, when polling analysts generally preach caution. On the other hand, Mr. Trump had a tough week of his own making — drawing condemnation from Republican leaders and even causing a few high-profile defections from donors and the conservative media.

Trump had an opening during the height of the police shootings which occurred at the same time as the Nice terror attack. I thought his convention speech was surprisingly good, too. But his handling of the Khan family incident was really bad and coupled with Hillary's good convention he's back in the hole. The door won't close totally because Democrats are viewed as weak on national security and a large Muslim terror attack just before election day could make it a toss up. But if that doesn't happen Trump won't win.
