Because there is real risk that Trump could be president. That in and of itself should scare anybody with a heartbeat. Get out and vote to stop the orange faced beast!
One of the Wash Post or NY Times articles from today(I forgot which) said that some people that were planning to vote 3rd party because they thought Clinton was going to win by a landslide....have since changed their mind and are voting for Clinton because they don't want Trump to win.
Is Survey Monkey a decent poll? I have been seeing many of the SurveyMonkey state polls and I am not sure if the pollster is reliable. Do they do standard landline/cell live polls?
Survey Monkey is a web based poll that is well regarded by Nate Silver, among others. There are good and bad web based polls, like there are good and bad traditional pollsters. The best thing I can think of to support Survey Monkey is that NBC News had enough confidence in their accuracy to partner with them.
Attached are a couple of articles on Survey Monkey.
NBC News/Survey Monkey National Poll ( Released 4 pm on 10-31/16):
Clinton by 6
First the results of the entire week of 10/24 to 10/30
Clinton: 47%
Trump: 41%
Johnson:6%
Stein:3%
For the pre-Comey announcement (Monday-Friday) it breaks like this:
Exactly as the entire week: Clinton 47%, Trump 41% Johnson 6% St in 3%
For post-Comey (Sat-Sun) no change:
Clinton 47% Trump 41% Johnson 7% Stein 3%

I'm pretty skeptical of online polling in general. I tend to think online polling would favor Trump more, though. so it's interesting that Clinton comes out on top here.
Regardless, online polling may be more valid than it otherwise would be to gauge trends - particularly in this case pre & post FBI headlines.
