Margie squeezes in a few hours of staycation, while Kristen is on the road. But even during a slow week there are still polls to amaze or depress you. &nbsp; Poll of the week: smells like teen spirit? What do Milwaukee voters think the election smells like? Um, nothing&nbsp;you'd want to turn into a scratch-n-sniff sticker.   Hart/Annenberg school focus group  &nbsp; 2016 The race is tightening! But just a little.   Washington Post/ABC News poll  HP: Trump vs. Clinton two-way  HP Trump vs. Clinton &nbsp;vs. Johnson  David Plouffe tweets More HP polls  HP on college educated whites  WP on the White Catholic vote  HP/YouGov on ads vs news  HP on voters' trust  &nbsp; Trump immigration policy?

There’s common ground on immigration--but maybe not on trump’s different positions on immigration. Meanwhile, don’t worry folks, were also becoming increasingly partisan on guns and education. So there’s that. At least my back to school shopping is done! And this i can promise you: it will be decades before i spend more on my children’s clothes than on my own.
