On the polls . . . .the predisposition of the media is to keep as many people watching the horse race as possible. This plays out as a predisposition to cover the lesser of the two candidates acceptable to them. This also increases the tendency of voters to think that they have to vote for one or the other of them to keep the one that scares them most from winning. We've seen this happen with Trump repeatedly since he declared his candidacy. He talks his campaign into the ground, so the media responds by giving him more air time. Even if it's more air time to imply that he's a trainwreck, it's more air time. Then his polls numbers nudge up. This is an old game.
