I think Trump will close the gap, providing he's able to dodge any more disastrous past mistakes coming up to haunt him before it does. But it's probably not going to be enough, if he was going to turn this ship around it would have to have been done in the last debate, and he made an effort but it just wasn't enough. I mean, I have to give him his due in the last debate, he didn't flip out, but he did drop enough soundbites to be used against him, promising to jail Hillary for example, which coupled with the Make America Grope Again campaign, it was enough to give the point to Hillary, especially when a great deal of his own party were deserting him, and he threw his own running mate under the bus as well. I maintain that if he had gone worse that debate then Pence would have handed in the towel, but he managed to see it through, and land some good solid hits on Hillary, so Pence stayed clinging to the mast.
So unless he wins this debate by an absolute blinder, or Hillary gets a slight cold, then I don't think it'll matter, but...again...Dewey vs Truman, so, who can be sure.
