Add the numbers yourself? The numbers add up to 86%, as I recall. That means 14% are undecided. That means that 14%–if election were held today–would sway it one way or another. And that means there is still no way of knowing who’d win at this point. I suggest revising that misleading sentence and replace it with a true fact that it is still quite literally a tossup. And September.
