Disappointing, to say the least. So many mixed messages in the polling. Missouri is not a virtual tie if it's Clinton +3. North Carolina is not Clinton +2 if the race is Clinton +13 nationally.
There are literally two diametrically opposed competing narratives, and it's not simply a matter of choosing to believe the state polls only or the national polls only. Things are a mess.
What is unquestionable though is that HRC is leading significantly. When do polls tend to converge for the final results? Is it around Labor Day weekend?
The answer in 2012 was "never".
Arguably the state polls converged to a reasonable degree. Obviously Gallup still has egg on their face from the final national poll, though.
