Some Johnny-come-lately-pollsters have been supplying polls suggesting that Donald Trump might be ahead in battleground states that have usually had Clinton leads almost all electoral season. FoX Propaganda Channel has touted those as evidence that the race was tightening.
Take those out and Hillary Clinton has a lead in the popular vote close to that of Obama at the end of 2012. The polls around all year have had their swings related to events, but those make sense. The others seem largely to fit a narrative that Donald Trump, the most execrable nominee for President by one of the two main Parties since the Civil War, is ahead.
