Quote:There's a poll out where Clinton is winning in Texas.  In Texas!!!  The national polling is getting tight.  The electoral map...  Trump is losing pretty badly, and states that should be completely out of play are opening up as swing states.  That's not a good look for trump.

 

This is where the media sucks.  They cover the horse race, so they get really excited and even drive for a close national polling race.  But if you look deeper, the trump campaign has along way to go.

 

"The poll shows Clinton leading Trump in Texas by 1 point — 46 to 45 percent. In a four-way race, Clinton and Trump are tied at 40 percent each, Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson has 11 percent, Green Party candidate Jill Stein has 3 percent and 6 percent are undecided. The poll had no margin of sampling error because it didn’t use random sampling."

 

It was an unscientific poll, about as accurate as a twitter poll.

If it makes you feel better though, sure. Texas is purple. According to the poll you cite, so is Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Close race.
