Is anyone else fucking sick of these polls? Although I feel like most are weighted in favour of Hillary so when I see Trump ahead I'm inclined to believe it.

I'm personally inclined to believe that overall the polls are too close to distinctively call either way right now (as they have been for months now, with Trump's post-convention boost being the only thing to break out of some polls' margins of error).
I personally like the idea that Trump, after being attacked for months by the establishment on both sides, after having three of the worst weeks in any presidential campaign, after being called crazy and unhinged every day by media from all sides, is still tied with Hillary. This is the moment she should have been seizing to pull far ahead and try to guarantee her victory while Trump was weak, and she couldn't do that. When she is at her best and Trump is at his worst, the 30-year-career politician is tied with the businessman-turned-Presidential-candidate.
When Trump's new chairman and CEO start pushing the campaign at full strength towards the White House, every single point that Hillary loses will just go to show how much she had to rig the system just to win against the weak Bernie in her primary.

1, the poll is only visible if you visit the site and turn off NoScript. Archive.is can't see it.
2, the poll only shows a difference of 0.6% favoring Trump, far within the poll's stated margin of error (as shown by the shaded gray area)
3, it's a tracking poll, which isn't even as accurate as the one-time polls because the margin of error can compound each day.

So when Trump is ahead, it's just a glitch and should be ignored. When the polls show hillary ahead, that should be taken as gospel and means she's definitely going to win. Got it.

I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that the poll is hard to view, and that the polls still say it's too close to call. If Trump's new direction can give him as much of a boost as the RNC, then we'll really have some demonstrable proof that Trump is pulling far ahead.
