I wonder what date for the data they updated this poll tracker from as looking at the latest individual polls themselves don't yield the same results?

Real Clear Politics has Hillary up 3.2%. Drudge showed Trump up 2% on the IBD poll while RCP had Clinton up by 1% on the IBD poll. Clicking the IBD poll on RCP explained the difference. In a four way race, Trump is up 2. In a two way race, Clinton is up one.

The only other poll having Trump up is the LA Times poll. Trump is up 3 on that poll although he was up 5.6 there two days ago with possibly some slippage because of Comey again saying the FBI was not going to prosecute Hillary even though she used an illegal server and was excessively careless with national security.

If Hillary wins as most polls suggest, it will at least be the temporary end of our constitutional Republic although the same happened for awhile under Lincoln and FDR and its at least temporary replacement with corporatist oligarchs, not all American, calling the shots. 68% of Saudis prefer Hillary. Expect the TPP to be passed once some minor changes are made and President Clinton II declares it fixed.

Reading:

A walk down memory lane Goodbye, Good Riddance - British journalist Ambrose Evans Pritchard's last column covering the US in 1997 summarizing the previous Clinton administration. It looks like its back to the future.

One thing I haven't been able to get is why the State Department didn't provide secure channels in the first place.
Just go back to when Obama first took office; they took away his beloved Blackberry. Is Hillary Clinton supposed to be a tech nerd, or is the Secret Service or whoever else not meant to protect in these matters.

Mrs. Clinton is above the SS and above the law. We should be grateful the DNC chose her for our candidate.

The state dept. did provide secure channels and devices. Hillary chose not to use them under the guise of convenience.

Well , that doesn't quite cover it. It's as if she said: Hey! I'm Hillary, look at me, I'll ride my bike to Dulles airport on my way to Air Force On. Look, no hands, Ma!

I mean, Grab her goddamned device from her and be done for Christmas'sake.

That is what the FBI should have done to prove to everyone that there is only one set of laws governing all. Instead she has gotten a pass for her indiscretions.
Barry kept his Blackberry. I don't believe he used it for government work though.
