Well, the LAT poll did. He’s the entire reason that Trump had led that poll for as long as he did - one person tipped the poll significantly due to weighting.

Here’s @Nate_Cohn with the clearest explanation I’ve seen yet of why the LAT/USC poll is garbage https://t.co/tqlbxkvXN8

Without that one person, the entire poll flips over to Clinton by a significant margin (and that too affects all the aggregate polling. In other words, the horse race is quickly giving way to landslide.

In fact, Trump’s supposedly narrowing the number of states he’s going to focus on, which is telling because someone who is winning would expand the map, not contracting it.

Hillary’s map and path to 270 is clearer than it’s been for a while.
