Trump Leads Clinton by 1 Point in New Poll as Enthusiasm Declines

[loco]

Strong enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton has ebbed since the renewal of the FBI’s email investigation.

While vote preferences have held essentially steady, she’s now a slim point behind Donald Trump — a first since May — in the latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates.

Forty-six percent of likely voters support Trump in the latest results, with 45 percent for Clinton. With the data taken to a decimal for illustrative purposes, a mere 0.7 of a percentage point divides them. Third-party candidate Gary Johnson has 3 percent, a new low; Jill Stein, 2 percent.

Trump now leads Clinton by 8 points in the share of voters who are very enthusiastic about their choice as of Friday. But compared with past elections, it’s low for both of them — 53 percent for Trump, 45 percent for Clinton.

Strong enthusiasm for Clinton has lost 7 points since the start of tracking, especially Friday through Sunday. This is possibly an effect of the renewed controversy over her use of a private email server while secretary of state. Trump’s strong enthusiasm has held steady in tracking, which started Oct. 20.

These are interesting points for us political junkies.
BUT, for most voters it's a basic binary choice.
I'm not sure any of this swings actual votes one way or the other.

No, there's another option: stay home. Trump doesn't have to swing votes to him he just has to get them to not vote.

These poll guru's (i.e. Nate Silver) are really holding onto the fact that former-Sanders supporters will be automatic Hillary voters.
Countless evidence pointing to the contrary. I won't be surprised if Trump takes the following states:

Colorado: Sanders - 59%      Clinton - 40% Sanders won Denver by 10%

Wisconsin: Sanders - 57%    Clinton - 43% Sanders won every single county except Milwaukee county (lost by 3%)

Minnesota: Sanders - 62%     Clinton - 38% Sanders won ALL counties...a massacre

I remember seeing the new black panther party , in full uniform "monitoring" a couple polling stations in PA back in 2008.

You probably high fived them as you left the polling station considering you voted for their guy (obama)... or was it a fist bump?

Neither. I was with 'em in full uniform as a token member.

Lol, what a joke that turned out to be on the Black Panthers.  Obama is one of the last people they should want to see in the WH.  Total chump.  He puts on a little shuck and jive, and that's supposed to make everything OK.
