Interesting comment in article: regardless of party, well more than 50% of all voters have consistently said they expected Hillary Clinton to win the election. On Sunday, that number dropped below 50% for the first time, to 49%. It fell further, to 46%, on Monday

That does actually matter... There are a small percentage (less than 5%) of voters that will simply vote for the candidate that they perceive as the clear winner because they want to fell like they are on the winning side. Psychologists call it the "bandwagon effect". If a race is perceived as close and there is not a clear winner, that nullifies the bandwagon effect.

And yet O'Reilly showed a poll that 34% of voters will let the new investigation change their vote for Killary. I think any poll showing her with a lead is propaganda. And they are just about getting to where they can't sway the polls enough to show her in the lead.
