That's way too much, especially for states with smaller hispanic/latino populations.

But it is true that Trump may have prodded awake a sleeping - not giant, but a grumpy heavyweight.

Your claim about using a two-way poll for a four-way contest is absolute nonsense. There is no principle of statistics that affords such nonsense any credibility whatsoever. You really need to study up on the science before posting such comments.
What's funny is when I posted two way stuff months ago all the Trump supporters kept yelling that it was a four way match. Now when it benefits them they are okay to post.

We are starting to see more polls coming up with numbers like the outliers of a couple weeks ago.

A 4-way is preferable and most pollsters do both, but for some reason Gravis only did a 2 way matchup.

Given the fact that Trump is losing nearly every battleground state, has the worst ground game in history relative to his opponent, and is barely holding on to reliably red states like Texas, Georgia, and Arizona... don't bet a cent on this race being tied. Instead, save the money for some Zoloft, or Prozac. You're going to need it on election night.

Gravis sucks so there's really no reason to argue about their polls.
