"This shouldn't be close, but it's close," President Obama told the audience at a fundraiser this week in New York. "The presidential race, we should win. But Donald Trump got the nomination, so weird stuff happens."

Yet Donald Trump is closing in on Hillary Clinton, narrowing her lead to two points in the Real Clear Politics average. The battleground states are tight as well.
