Bloomberg has Clinton up by 9 — and gaining in some key groups:
“This poll shows movement toward Clinton with all the right groups it takes to win—including men and those without a college degree,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer, who oversaw the survey ahead of the final debate Wednesday. “Their alignment with Clinton is a formidable change in the algebra.”
After trailing among men throughout the summer, Clinton is now winning 46 percent of their support in a hypothetical two-way race, compared to 44 percent for Trump. She’s ahead among women by 17 points and has a 1-point edge among white women, 46 percent to 45 percent.
This kind of movement towards Hillary makes a recovery by Trump all the more difficult, especially since 6% of polled voters have already cast their ballots.
And this little kicker for fun:
The last time a presidential candidate won the popular vote by more than 9 points was President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
UPDATE: Looking at crosstabs:
-Up 9 points from mid-Sept., when tied
-Obama favs = +11 = great planning for Hillary to link to Obama
-Bill Clinton favs = +3 = not such a great idea to attack the Big Dog
-Michelle favs = +29!!! UP from Sept.
-Hillary favs = 5 point improvement to 48/52 (some odd rounding has them saying 47 but breakout shows 48)
-Party favs = Dems +1; Reps -26 = Good news down ballot?
Finally — 59% of Dems would be PANICKED if Trump won, while only 42% of Trump supporters would feel panicked. Hopefully that means current rhetoric on the right is only rhetoric.
