Hillary Clinton is in trouble - big, sweaty-palm trouble.
Her polls are falling off a cliff, as Donald Trump-wary Republicans gradually shift from the "undecided" column to back a candidate who fills them with dread.
The decline has accelerated since Clinton's reckless "basket of deplorables" speech on September 9 and her seeming collapse in public on September 11, when she got knocked by a bout of pneumonia.
A once formidable Clinton advantage has evaporated.
Trump, by contrast is on a roll. Since the days after the Republican convention in July, he has risen almost steadily in the polls - chipping an incredible six points off Clinton's lead in averages of the polls, and seemingly immune in the minds of some voters to his shocking/appalling/inept/dumb utterances that analysts and pundits rate as political suicide.
Ditto Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook, who told The Washington Post he expected the polls to get worse before they get better.
"We expected this to tighten. We expect it to tighten even further - that's why we built a robust campaign in all 50 states, but especially in the battleground states," he said.
"It's going to come down to small margins ... We're spending a lot of time making sure of our vote."
More troubling for Camp Clinton than the national polling, is a fracturing of support in vital swing states such as Florida, Iowa, and Ohio - and how it factors into the distribution of votes in the Electoral College, which tilts much more favourably for Clinton than it does for Trump.
She's in trouble, too, in North Carolina and Nevada and on the verge of crisis in New Hampshire, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia. All these are states in which Democrats claimed they were spending so much and had such fabulous grassroots operations that victory was, or close to, being in the bag.
The Trump campaign's Conway is loving it all.
"Everybody loves a winner," he said.
"People now see these polls tightening where we're up, tied or within the margin of error in nearly all of the swing states."
