could be good, of course, if they really have a good mathematical model on how to do so, but I would think that has to add an additional margin of error.

It looks to me like they mostly massaged the numbers in Trump's favor, but then again a lot of the polls they are using here were before the FBI reopened Hillary's latest criminal investigation.
