The State of the Polling - Final

 To be honest a lot shifted in favor of Trump. This is exactly what we saw in 2016. I marked those shifts in bold.

So, on the last day before the plunge the trends are all going the wrong way. The one that bothers me the most is RealClearPolitics.

It's been my experience that they're pretty accurate. Is was that site that led me to believe that Trump would win in 2016. It's not as bad this time around but it's not good either.

I have a bad feeling about this.
