but yes, they are spooking me. All their polls have Trump up or within MOE.
WTF?!

Florida appears to be as tight a contest as ever, with Clinton at 49% among likely voters and Trump at 47%. That's an apparent shift in Clinton's direction since the last CNN/ORC poll there in September before the presidential debates began, but still a within-margin-of-error race.

CNN/ORC gets an A- rating.
Bogus!

They have a laughably bad miss in NV based on actual data from early voting. But even if they were right, FL and PA give Clinton the election. CNN polls are not saying anything at all about the Clinton campaign being derailed--they say she wins.
