A lot of CYA going on today on both CNN and MSNBC [View all]

No more amplifying of the 'bro" vote or claims that minorities are swinging towards trump. Less sanewashing of cheato's remarks at his rallies (they will NEVER stop completely of course). Much more hedging of claims that cheato is ahead even by the R's on their political panels.

No more downplaying of the women's vote or stupid predications that the choice issue is not a major concern of voters.

I think the Selzer poll has spooked them, and I, for one, am enjoying it! Not making any predictions, but when Peter Baker is willing to say that trump has committed a lot of "fumbles" recently and Andrea Mitchell admits there is a "surge" towards Democrats, something is going on!
