I don't know how there is such a dichotomy between her lead in individual states and the reporting on the polls "tightening." Who ae the pollsters polling? If more women, and both male & female African Americans and Hispanics are expected to vote for Hillary than Trump, then how are the polls tight???
Can anyone explain this? The positive electoral votes count vs the tight polls.
