Here's an interesting read when you factor
Jill Stein and Gary Johnson into the mix - which the MSM has scrupulously avoid doing up to this point.
"...but note that the total of Trump (39) + Clinton (42) = only 83, so certainly some of the remaining 17 percent is unrecorded Johnson votes, artificially excluded in the false 2-way match-up of the McClatchy/Marist poll. Clinton's lead is a healthier 5 points with Johnson and Stein included, but Stein has just started to profit from disenchanted Bernie supporters looking for somewhere else to go.
Many of them, perhaps most, will vote for Clinton, but many, perhaps most, may not, and many of them may go to Stein. Gary Johnosn, on the other hand, has been running against Trump for months, and in the last couple of months there hasn't been a credible Republican challenge to Trump from which votes could go to Johnson, meaning his poll numbers, to the extent they come from Trump, are less likely to go higher. Stein, on the other hand, might go to 10% easily now that Bernie has dropped out."
