Clinton up 6 in POLITICO/Morning Consult national poll

Hillary Clinton has opened up a six-point lead over Donald Trump, erasing the New York billionaire's slim national edge with five weeks until Election Day, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll of likely voters.
Clinton leads Trump 42-36 in the four-way race for the White House. Gary Johnson garnered 9 percent, Jill Stein got 2 percent and 10 percent remain undecided. It's a dramatic bump for Clinton: Trump led by one point before the debate, and in a POLITICO/Morning Consult survey conducted immediately after the debate, Clinton led by four points.

Post-debate, Clinton takes the lead 47% to 42% CNN/ORC poll

Hillary Clinton emerges from the first presidential debate with a five-point lead over Donald Trump in the race for the presidency, having narrowed the enthusiasm gap between her supporters and Trump's, and holding broad advantages over the Republican nominee as the candidate with the right temperament and preparation for the job, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.

The survey finds Clinton topping Trump 47% to 42% among likely voters with Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson at 7% and Green Party nominee Jill Stein at 2%.
Clinton's boost in the race stems largely from gains on Trump among men (from a 22-point deficit with that group in early September to just a 5-point one now) and sharply increased support from independents, who broke heavily in Trump's favor in the early September poll but now tilt Clinton, 44% to 37%.

I am afraid the senate is going to be closer than anybody thought. The winning of the presidency without the senate going democratic will mean more games with the Supreme Court.

One thing at a time. Start with making sure that Trump doesn't take the White House.
