We'll see if Nate Silver adjusts the odds on this one. He adjusted them quite a bit towards Trump after those Quinnipiac polls. 

Of course, the spin always has to be negative. So one thing you hear is 'but look at all those voters choosing neither.' 

That was the case in 2012 to at this time. Obama didn't start to regularly poll in the high 40s or low 50s until September.

Sad thing these days Georgia, Texas, Utah, and Arizona are looking kind of like swing states for Trump.

P.S. You can see now why Trump considered General Flynn to be his VP. Here's the general's reaction to the Bastille day attack:

In next 24 hours, I dare Arab & Persian world "leaders" to step up to the plate and declare their Islamic ideology sick and must B healed."
