Perhaps the best place to go for up-to-date polling data, and lots of other great political information and analysis, is the slightly right-leaning Real Clear Politics page. I highly recommend bookmarking it to check regularly, particularly during and election.
After watching the conventions I had hoped ordinary Americans would begin to cut through the plutocrat-funded haze designed to confuse us these past three years (more really, but much more intensively lately). I still do trust that ordinary voters will come through as the voices of deceny and pragmatism they have so often been in the past.
But I do wonder if the game is not rigged at two levels. The long-term economic game that Elizabeth Warren referred to and the immediate electoral game...where the refs incompetence is more deeply structural, as they systematically skew the playing field in favor of the already ultra-wealthy.
