Trump doesn't like what he's seeing in NC and FL (both incredibly close) or PA (small but persistent Clinton lead), so now he's gone full Hail Mary into NM/MI/WI. Apparently Steve Bannon is the one pushing this heave.

You're right Clinton isn't disliked more than anyone else.
And no one said
that, either. I only correctly noted that her favorability ratings are in line with both our political climate and comparable national leaders -- and literally all the data confirms that. We can't just
pretend that data doesn't exist because some people don't like the conclusion it offers. Clinton doesn't have the favs that Obama has but no one does; Obama's the most popular politician in the country, and even he didn't have his current favs for much of the last 5 years.
We've been seeing favs like -9% for a while, and her favorables aren't even fixed in place. They've improved at several points throughout the campaign: after the first debate, after the DNC, and after the California primary. Talking about her (or anyone's) favorability without the proper context is just disingenuous.
