What I find interesting is that one party (the Republicans) is basically sitting out this presidential race - or, so it seems to me. As much as the Republican chairman may make statements of support, few are unequivocally supporting Trump.

frankly, i'd bet the HRC campaign prefers the race looking close right now.
i'm also confident her campaign has its own internals that give a much more accurate & precise idea of the state of the race, precinct by precinct, and they do not appear worried about the margin - ready to take on the down-ballot challenges to grow her coattails

for the rest of us, 3% is probably too much. let's work like we're down 3.
