Hillary's overall margin is higher today than it was three days ago - but the polls are narrowing.

She's at 5.4% on RCP.

Three days ago, she was at 5%.

Okay. Yeah. Sure.

Narrowing.

With all this good news of early voting and great democratic turn out, I'm not sure where the poll narrowing meme is coming from (well, maybe I do). I also don't get the slight downward shift on 538. It's just kind of weird.
