Despite Nate Silver giving Hillary Clinton a 79% chance of winning and a new map showing her with nearly double the electoral votes of Donald Trump, a poll released Thursday by Rasmussen Reports finds Trump actually beating Clinton among likely US voters. The poll has Trump with 43% of the vote to Clinton's 39% only a week after trailing her by five points. It's the best Trump has done in the poll since October, and it shows him being supported by 75% of Republicans and 14% of Democrats. Rasmussen Reports says possible reasons for the Trump bump include a speech on jobs he gave Tuesday, the results of the Brexit vote in the UK, and the deadly terrorist attack in Istanbul.

Would someone please explain how all of these polls survey "likely American voters" whereas if people live anywhere BUT in the few so-called swing states, their poll opinions -- and their votes, for that matter -- actually mean NOTHING?
