It's a probabilistic graph from 538. Clinton is only 7 points in the lead, but the effect that that has on her chance of winning if an election was held today is massive.
Arguably, the graph is less misleading because it actually puts the candidates' chances in context.

it's the "us vs. them" mentality that's been promoted in us politics since the first political parties. glad people are finally starting to see through that bullstuff with this election, and are actually willing to vote third party to show our politicians that values matter more than party loyalty.
