Quick thought on things we are seeing.

Generally, I find the aggregate picture of credible polling to be encouraging. The one thing I noticed in the Marquette Poll today, which probably explains some of the more outlier-ish results, was that Hillary had an atrocious Friday. The overall sample had her up 6%. The Friday sample alone had her down 8%. Granted, there's a lot of day-to-day variance in any polling, but that was an outlier to end all outliers.

My suspicion is that polls that were centered on Friday with that FBI story at full blast all show something like that effect. However, polls taken during this week should show a return to normal results, which the Marquette Poll showed over its five day sample.
