What’s going on with the polls?

Something funny is happening in the major national polling department of this presidential race and no one’s talking about it.
First, somehow the narrative seems to be developing that the polls show Clinton with a near insurmountable lead.
Not so fast.
Not so fast at all.
There is a very large gap between Trump and Clinton’s current national standing, as revealed by Goebbels/Pravda (CBS, NBC, ABC/Washington Post), on the one hand, versus the picture painted by three respected polling organizations that are not part of the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party, on the other:
Here are some of the numbers available Friday, October 21, 2016:
Goebbels/Pravda: (with NBC and CBS as reported by RCP on the afternoon of Friday, October 21, 2016):
ABC/Washington Post: 47-43, Clinton
NBC: 51-43, Clinton
CBS: 51-40, Clinton
Non-Propaganda Machine-affiliated: (as reported on the afternoon of Friday October 21, 2016):
IBT/TIPP: 41-40, Trump
LA Times/USC Tracking: 44.5-43.8, Trump
Rasmussen: 43-41, Trump
To say there’s a huge difference between the current state of the race as depicted by Goebbels/Pravda versus that shown by major independent polling organizations, would be risible understatement.
The propaganda arm of the Democratic Party is showing a runaway race, while the independents present an extremely tight one, with Trump frequently leading by a nose.
I have no idea who’s right, but I’m certain of this: both can’t be.
As our twenty-five year olds would ask: “Dude, what’s up with that?”
Why no discussion of this huge discrepancy?
Why the assumption by the media that it’s in the bag for what’s her name?
By the way, regarding an item of terminology:
I submit that “Goebbels/Pravda” is a moniker the gang of six has more than richly earned by its collective coverage of “The News” in this presidential election.

However, what Trump supporters should consider is the Kentucky Governors race. Matt Bevin, a Trump like figure, was 5 points down in all the polls on election day. He won by 9.
In Michigan, Hillary was up 18 points the day of the primary. We know that she lost Michigan. I’m just not sure how much. At least 18.1% failure on their part.
That’s what I keep thinking. These idiots are going to convince themselves that Clinton has won, so why bother to vote. And us supporting Trump will end up being seriously enraged enough to push forward and get involved and make it happen.
