Summary

Last Friday, we saw yet another “October Surprise” that could impact the pending election as FBI Director Jim Comey announced via a letter to Congress that emails from a Clinton aide would be examined in connection with the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Whether or not this announcement will influence the election outcome, there has been a clear improvement in polling numbers for the Trump campaign through the end of last week. When select state polls are released, we will have further clarity into any impact the announcement may also be having on downstream elections. We participated in an election update conference call this morning with Dan Clinton, Strategas’ Head of Political Research, and David Wasserman, the House Editor for The Cook Political Report. David is known as a leading expert on analyzing U.S. House Races and he will be making all House race calls for NBC on election night.
