I'm looking the trend on FiveThirtyEight. The now -cast has her over 90%, with the other predictions over 80%. Utah is in play. The Upshot (NY Times) has it at 88% to 12%. All forecasts are more aligned and less volatile (as I mentioned earlier, more reliable).

The longer she maintains this lead, the higher the probability. 4 of five pundits say, "it's over." The greatest risk now is Democratic complacency.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

The LA Times is an outlier - they're polling the same people every day. The LA Times is doing an experiment with USC to determine how much the needle moves every day for the same set of voters given the day's news cycle. LA Times Polling Methodology

Doesn't sound like it will yield anything useful either.

The LA Times is NOT a poll, but it does show how perceptions and inclinations change. It is useful information.

The sample is contaminated. Information is useless.

The greatest risk now is Democratic complacency. If (some) voters are that lax about not using their ballot power and therefore allowing a very disturbed and totally unprepared man to take the reigns of US power, perhaps we all deserve what will then ensue. I think its safe to say this is the most disturbing and consequential election of our lifetimes. Perhaps ever in our history--Abe L. excluded. Gawd help us all.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
