Washington Post Tracking Poll

  Don't forget, a tracking poll is done day to day, it's not the same as a poll conducted over several days.

I don't put much stock in these kinds of polls they seem to swing wildly with that days headlines.

Exactly - never put all your eggs in one poll, ever. But put even less eggs in a tracking poll. They do swing. How you're supposed to look at tracking polls is to see how they flow over a period of one full week. The media does a disservice by getting all itchy trigger finger jumpy on each single daily poll. People don't know this though, so they get all jumpy too.

I feel right now barring some earth-shaking revelation that HRC will pull it out , but it could be closer than anyone ever thought possible. Sadly, she might not have much of a petticoat tail and that spells trouble going forward.

She still holds the superior position. It's also typical that the race gets tighter in the final days.
