379. My take on the election was that change was key factor

On the Republican side, the primary voters rejected mainstream Republicans who had long histories of hate and prejudice toward Obama and progressive causes.

On the Democratic side, the primary voters gave Bernie 45% of the pledged delegates, a lefty who has been outside the Democratic establishment for decades, against a long-time Democrat who was arguably the most qualified candidate ever.

I think there is plenty of evidence that change was a strong sentiment in the electorate.

I know many people are saying Comey or the wikileak of campaign emails changes people, but I just don't see it.

I just don't see the impact in polls at the end of the race in the national polls

Or in Wisconsin (Clinton up by 6.1 pts)

Or in Penn (Clinton up by 4.1 pts)

The trendlines cross in Ohio beginning in Sept and Trump was steadily ahead 2 weeks before the Comey letter.

Do you have access to polling numbers showing something different?
