Poll "tightening" has showed up with new 538 numbers

tRump is up to 21.4% this morning from 18.9%. Not unexpected, as it seems to be responding to all the poll noise out there.

I sure am looking forward to a Trump dump soon.

From TPM Livewire: Report: Trump Camp Tells House GOPers 'No Waffling' On Support For Nominee

In a memo to House Republicans on Thursday, the Donald Trump campaign pressured lawmakers to openly express their support for the Republican nominee as Election Day fast approaches, the Washington Post reported.

"No waffling, no week [sic] knees," Scott Mason, the Trump campaign's director of congressional affairs, wrote in an email to House Republicans obtained by the Post.

"I know we are less than 11 days to the 2016 election. But it is imperative that we continue to drive Republican support for the top of the ticket," Mason wrote.

"That means we need your direct, strong support for the Trump/Pence ticket,” he continued. “Now is the time. No waffling, no week [sic] knees. Hillary Clinton has given us, and continues to give us — and the country — every reason on earth that she is not worthy of winning this election. We strongly urge you today to make a statement — take a stand — and step out for the Trump/Pence ticket.”

Man Arrested For Wearing 'Basket Of Deplorables' Shirt At Texas Polling Place

A Texas man was arrested Monday for electioneering after refusing to hide his “Basket of Deplorables” T-shirt.

“He wanted to take a stand,” Bulverde Police Chief Gary Haecker told the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung of Brett Mauthe, who showed up to his polling place with a Trump hat and “Basket of Deplorables” T-shirt. “Unfortunately, he was arrested.”

Mauthe told local TV station KSAT that he removed his Trump hat but refused to turn his T-shirt inside-out, saying he was unaware it constituted a violation of the election code.

With so many folks opting for early voting; how how this figure into daily poll projections?

I know that we've had early voting in past elections, but this year seems to be unprecedented. With so many people opting to vote early, how does this information translate into the poll projections?

Thanks!

Wondering if there's any more "bombshells" against Trump coming out?

More groping allegations? More hot mic stuff? law suits? anything?

Not worried...just a bit annoyed at the 538 2016 presidential forecast

Showing just very slight downticking for Hillary and consequential very slight upticking for Trump --

but what is changing to have these slight variations? What polls would be causing these minor shifts and what's the trend expectation?
