Hillary Clinton has consistently led in a greater portion of presidential polls in the two months heading into Election Day than President Barack Obama did in both 2008 and 2012.

The Democratic nominee is ahead of GOP nominee Donald Trump in 93 percent of polls conducted in the two months before Election Day. Trump leads in just 3 percent of the polls. Another 3 percent of polls show a tied race.

Overall, these statistics reflect a greater level of certainty of Clinton’s position as the leader than was present for Obama in 2008 and 2012.

1. Hope the Trumpkins are ready for a shocking loss Nov 8th.

Its the horserace factor.
The reality will be a stunning defeat for trump.

3. Maybe if you go back two months but Obama's lead in Nov. 08 was much larger.

This is very similar to four years ago, except I think Hillary has a slight advantage compared to Obama in national polls. Now we just need to see if it translates to a similar EV win.

Can Hillary flip an Arizona or Georgia?

She has better margins in more overall states than Obama last go around, for the most part...but it remains to be seen if she can flip one of those states. Conversely, she's potentially doing worse than Obama in Iowa and Ohio. Hopefully she can win Florida and North Carolina on pad her margins.
