Key Quotes:

"For sure, the national polls have shown a clear shift in favour of Clinton.

The tightest the Real Clear Politics national average poll became of late was on 17th September when the gap was just 1.0ppt (Clinton 44.9%; Trump 43.9%). The gap as of the latest poll reading is now 3.9ppts (Clinton 48.1%; Trump 44.2%).

So Clinton has gained 3.9ppts over that period but Trump has also gained, by a smaller 0.3ppt. So unlike on previous occasions when a gap has emerged, Trump this time has not plunged in the polls – Clinton has simply gained more support. Given the latest list of mishaps for Trump above, we can only conclude that his support seems to have solidified."
