It's October 21. Anyone looking at national polls at this point is clueless about the American electoral process.

3 days earlier you were betting your life that Hillary was guaranteed to win. Liberals love the polls and claim they are infallible for the next 10 years when it shows them what they want to see...if not, well the election is a day away so we can't count the poll, election's too far away.

What are you talking about? I have never bet my life on anything. Are you just making up nonsense just to have something to say?

Regardless, if you read the comment to which you just replied, you'll see clearly that I said it was clueless to be looking at national polls. Perhaps you don't realize that there are state-by-state polls, to which I was alluding.

You just don't get it. The polls are showing very clearly that Clinton is going to win. Attached below is a graphic of what the polls currently show.

In other matters: Shouldn't Nate Silver be updating Utah soon?

The last poll was the first showing the true four way race, so the impact of earlier polls (especially those in September) shouldn't be so pronounced.

I've been out of state and off line since last Saturday. In going through my latest e-mail today, Rasmussen is reporting 5% of Likely Voters are still claiming to be Undecided.

Who ARE these people?

Who the heck could possibly still be undecided if they are a LIKELY voter? Please somebody, tell me. It included the last debate so what are they waiting for. I don't ever want to know these people who can't make up their mind between 2 (or more) candidates with such opposing issue positions and resumes. Honest to God, Rasmussen is showing Trump ahead by 2% (margin of error is 2.5%) but the only thing I can't think of is that 5% of people likely to vote still don't know what the bleep they are going to do.

Probably people who hate both candidates and can't decide yet which of them represents the lesser of two evils.

The wikileaks Hillary stuff has been pretty much a bust - all sizzle, no steak - and I wouldn't expect that to change at this point. Voting is already well underway. It's a bit late to be releasing any "bombshells".

That's my view too, but I could see how a person who is having a really hard time making up his/her mind would be waiting for something to happen to clarify matters.
