Impact will be instant of new Comey letter.

Polls are lagging indicators, but this news will have an instant impact. Of course it won't effect those who have already voted, but this will give her a few points immediately even if no poll ever pick it up.

The narrative is that once again Hillary did nothing wrong and these accusations are always just political.

This is different from other potential bombshell type news. Its very simple and clear and many have been waiting for this.

She willl get a nice bounce for Tuesday.

and got a reprieve. So some damage was done. In any event, good to have this news today. When Clinton wins, she can ask Comey to move on.

I think Trump was going to lose by 9+ points before all of this, then this morning he was going to lose by 4-6 points, now 6-8 points.

The senate very well could have been lost, or forced into the 50 50 split, and it wont do much for hilkary while the rs will insanely use it to prove hiw crooked shebis.
