        Oh there's a small difference for sure, but it's definitely not as large as Fox, etc. are making it out to be. -- nm - MDH Sep 23, 06:10

      - I think expecting Trump to lose by a wide margin is wishful liberal thinking. - ty97 Sep 23, 05:34 3

        Whoever wins Florida will win it by less than 5 points. -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 05:31
      - More: I also do not think there has been anything like a 5 point shift to Clinton this week - ty97 Sep 23, 05:26
