(2,729 posts)There are also critical down ticket races that need attention, and all hands on deck is how you finish up a national campaign. Hence President Obama is speaking in PA with a message aimed at black male voters, while President Clinton is going to Georgia and NC to reach out to voters he won with in the 1990s. Bernie Sanders speaking to more progressive audiences in the Midwest, same thing.
People bring up the "internal polls" boogey man come every election; they are used to scare, to reassure, to fundraise, to explain campaign decisions. Campaigns use them to help make decisions as to where they need to send the big guns. Not sure why you think this is so strange or such an omen of ill.
Smarter people than me have been saying that the Trump campaign would use fake polling to create fake tightening in polling averages. Try reading a Stuart Rosenberg article on the subject, and then you might not need to worry so much about internal polling.
