Her slide started before the Comey letter on Friday.

Trump being relatively quiet for a few days has apparently given Republicans and independents all the cover they need to vote for him in spite of everything.

Isn't trump polling a little bit better because Johnson's numbers are way down?

He does seem to be picking up Johnson/undecided voters while Hillary remains basically stagnant, yes.

Yea, I think this is significant. Johnson was polling like 15% of the popular vote six weeks ago; he's at 4.7% now.
He wasn't ever that high nationwide. 538 had him as high as 9% with their weighted averages, but yeah he has been hemoraging support the last couple of weeks.

This is true? I read that quote and thought "This sounds way too self-righteous to be Chomsky."

It's actually Chomsky, but I made that title part up. Becasue I'm a cynical asshole. #FunFacts
