Exactly. There’s only one poll that counts. Folks should be optimistic but never because of the polls. A good way to keep hopes up is to note the overwhelming support Trump/Pence receive at their campaign rallies versus those for Clinton/Kaine.
At the rallies, people are voting with their time and feet. And folks are excited to see Trump Pence. The only folks excited about Clinton/Kaine are their followers in the newsrooms.
