We have a significant move in The TPM Electoral Scoreboard, which moves today to Clinton 323, Trump 197. For the moment, only Ohio is in the Toss Up category where Trump has a razor thing .6 percentage point lead.

The same trend is clear in the national popular vote. The PollTracker Average currently stands at Clinton 48.3% to Trump’s 42.2%.

As you can see in the PollTracker trend chart going back through July, Clinton is currently at her highest average of the election season, apparently consolidating the center-left coalition as Trump falters. (See the full trend chart going back to the summer of 2015 here.) If you hover over the chart you can see the too lines start their most recent divergence right around the time of last week’s debate.
