The aggregate of the three latest polls in the RCP aggregation is Clinton +2 if as is sensible the idiotic ABC "poll" which had Clinton +12 a day agois removed.
Even if taken back to 1023 and non-trackers are included Clinton's lead has fallen to only +3.2 points. Gary Johnson peaked at 9.2 late September and has steadily declined and will continue to do so, where his remaining 3-4% available support goes to will be crucial in the key states. IMO opinion the majority will go to Trump.
An indication of how momentum is going is the latest USC/LATimes poll which saw Trump jump by +1.5 in two days and Bloomberg putting Florida, the most important state into Trump's camp. Clearly Trump's incredible hard work in the state is bearing fruit as Clinton rests on her media supported laurels.
Don't need to be a weatherman
Watch the media narrative change to "it's a horse race' or other such nonsense if the trend to Trump continues.

10/24 Five Honest Tracking Polls Aggregate Update; Clinton +0.3
UPI/C has finally updated it's polling after nothing since 10/15. The poll leans Clinton and today's result of Clinton +3.0 a drop of 3.5 points for her since their last poll report.
The last two days polls have been sub-optimal for Trump as he declined in PPD from +1.4 to +0.6, a sharp drop in USC/LATimes from +0.3 to minus 1.3 and a two point drop in IBD to a tie.
USC has shown these sharp fluctuations before and the next few polls across these five trackers will be instructive.
IBD is a concern as it is rated the most accurate and whilst Rasmussen has held up at Trump +2 the general trend over the last few days has been negative. That said the aggregate is still basically a tie with Clinton at a tiny
+0.3 point lead.
Over time Clinton has declined in the aggregate of the four original polls excluding IBD from her high on 10/11 of +3.7 to +0.4 today

Where Will Bulk Of Johnson's 6% And Stein's 2.2% Support Go On Election Day?
In the 2012 election Gary Johnson got less than 1% of the national vote 0.99% to be exact. The Greens Jill Stein got 0.36% for a combined total of 1.35%
As of today's Real Clear Politics aggregate of polls Johnson is on 6.0% and Stein 2.20% an increase of +5.0 for Johnson and +1.84 for Stein. Their combined total increase is +6.84.
Johnson peaked at 9.2% in mid-September and has slowly been declining, as would be expected, from 9% to 8% to 7% and now 6%. Stein peaked at 4% in August and has also been declining slowly, but has been around the 2.0% to 2.60% since mid-September.
It would appear that Stein has picked up some of the ex-Sanders supporters and it may be that, as in many countries world-wide, the Greens have a support base which grows slowly but does grow.
Gary Johnson on the other hand at his 9.2% peak was clearly a vehicle for the "Never Trump's" and "Never Hillary" voters as it is doubtful in the extreme that 8% more voters had become entranced with Libertarian-ism over the last four years. I would further venture that many of those 8% would struggle to advise anything about Johnson or his platform.
In the majority of cases where a protest party has an upsurge in poll support during a campaign, it melts like the snow when election day arrives, and the "never whomever" people are faced with the prospect of the opposition party actually winning and hold their collective noses. Ross Perot is of course an obvious exception but with respect to Johnson he is no Perot in profile or resources.
I would not be surprised in the least if Johnson doesn't even get a 100% increase from 2012 to 2% which leaves around 4% of his current polling available. At this point I enter into the world of conjecture, but I venture to say that it is conjecture based on years of watching elections and in-depth reading, so here goes.
I believe that the majority of Johnson's support over 2012 are Republicans who have not been able to bring themselves to support Trump. These voters would include utterly unhappy Cruz, Jeb and supporters of the other 10-12 of Trumps primary opponents (a few like Carson have come on board). I believe that the majority of them will, facing the prospect of four years of Hillary, a leftist Supreme Court and who knows what foreign policy entanglements, will bite the bullet and vote Trump in the privacy of the polling booth.
What Johnson gets in his native New Mexico is of no interest, but in the must win states for Trump the pressure on Republicans who stated they were going to vote Johnson, will be enormous.
In Florida, Trump's most vital state, Johnson is averaging 3.4% and Stein 1.4. Clinton's poll lead average is +3.4 so the pressure on their currently declared supporters is massive.
North Carolina (Stein not on the ballot) Clinton leads by 2.5 points Johnson has 5.7%
Ohio Trump leads by 0.6 points while Johnson has 5.6% and Stein 2.0%
Nevada Clinton +4.2 points Johnson 5.5% (Stein not on ballot)
Pennsylvania Clinton +6.2 Johnson 4.8% Stein 2.6%
If in the final days Trump's polling has moved closer to Clinton both nationally and in these key states, the signal to the voters who have inflated both Johnson and Stein's number will be clear.
That is, they may well hold the absolute key to who will be elected on November 8th. They know it won't be either of Johnson or Stein but it may well be their alternate, final, choice.

Tracking Polls 21/10 Bring Clinton's Aggregate Lead Down From +7.1 To +5.3
A striking turnaround for Donald Trump in the tracking polls and very interesting developments in the "one off" polls
In five days Clinton has gone from being +2 to being -2, a fall of four points as Trump leads in the Rasmussen poll by +2
In the PPD tracker Clinton fell from 1.7 to a Trump lead of +1.4 a 3.1 turnaround
And in the USC/LATimes poll Trump increased from -0.6 to +0.2
I have added IBD Polling in to the trackers list and to the aggregation in place of UPI/C which is too erratic i nits publishing
Eric Dondero R. Retweeted Bill Mitchell
Whoa! Did you guys see this? IBD has Trump ahead by 2 but has a +8 Dem sample.
An aggregate figure can't be done with UPI/C holding back its results but on current polling with IBD Trump is back in the lead in the aggregate a +1.4
If we look at ten days ago, Clinton's height in the tracking polls on 10/11, she has declined sharply in all four.
USC/LATimes -3.2 Rasmussen -5.7 PPD -4.4 UPI/C -1.6 for an aggregate drop of -3.7
Trump's lead in Tracking polls starts to bring Clinton's aggregate lead down.
All polls 10/18 46.2% +7.1 10/21 44.8 +5.3
AGGREGATE OF FOUR ONE OFF POLLS 10/20 Clinton +6.25
AGGREGATE OF FOUR TRACKING POLLS
