Trump has narrowed the gap with Clinton post-Orlando in a new poll from Morning Consult.

Via Morning Consult:

In a three-way field that includes libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, Trump and Clinton are tied at 38 percent each. Johnson pulls in 10 percent of the vote, and 14 percent of voters are undecided.

[...]In a head-to-head matchup with presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Trump is gaining ground. He still trails Clinton 42 percent to 40 percent, which is within the margin of error for the poll. He has closed the gap by 3 percentage points from Morning Consult’s previous poll, when he trailed Clinton by 5 points, 42 percent to 37 percent. Seventeen percent of voters in the most recent poll remain undecided.

Do not believe the pundits acting like Donald Trump is down and out because of a few BS polls.

Polls are only as good as the people taking them, democrats have been over represented because pollsters believe they'll have a higher turnout due to recent elections for which republicans were generally disinterested in their boring candidates, whereas the democrats were jazzed for Obama.

Trump is bringing in tons of new, enthusiastic and reliable voters and got a record turnout in the primaries.

Hillary Clinton and the democrats have performed poorly and all the energy among democrats is for Bernie Sanders, who -- despite Hillary's preference for a hack like Elizabeth Warren -- she's likely going to be forced to pick as her VP, lest all his supporters stay home on election night or vote Trump.
