National polls mean nothing
When it shows Trump +13 with independents it does.

Good news for Donald Trump? Butler County's absentee voting shows steady increase for Republicans
HAMILTON, Ohio -- If you're trying to read the tea leaves, this could be very good news for Donald Trump: Absentee voting in Republican stronghold Butler County is up 9 percent this year compared to 2012, and 21 percent over 2008.
Two weeks before the election, the Butler County Board of Elections has seen 40 percent more requests from Republicans compared to 2012, and 51 percent more requests from Republicans compared to 2008.
For Democrats, the increase is about 60 percent compared to 2012, but a decline of about 36 percent compared to 2008.
And in terms of sheer totals, there have been almost three times as many absentee and vote-by-mail requests from Republican voters so far this year. In 2012, it also was about a three-to-one ratio, while in 2008, they were nearly equal.

Well, the NC numbers say black vote is down 25%, white up 7%. Dems down 10, Repubs down 7. That's bad news for Hillary.
And Independents up 30.
I'm going to say the independents favor Trump because the party voters are down so much for each. That does not suggest a strong anti Trump drive, but a general disgust for both candidates. If independents aren't coming out in droves to vote against Trump it means they are voting for him.

First impressions are not great for me either. I'd hold off buying.
