    The day to day tracking polls are not statistically significant. The margin of error is not just a catchphrase. One candidate cannot meaningfully gain or lose a single point.

    If there is a major shift, that’d be newsworthy. Small gains are not. In fact, it’s more risky to suggest that it’s even news, when it’s more likely to be nothing.
