Additionally (and perhaps I simply live in the wrong state), I'm starting to wonder the same thing about Trump as I did Romney four years ago.

That being, "when do the friggin' ads begin?!?"

This daily anti-Trump/pro-HRC drumbeat in the media is taking its toll, I'm sure.

Both are now tied to each other in all the corruption and scandals...nothing Obama can do or say to save her bid for the presidency and save his legacy, however pathetic it is.

The most despicable act was to have a sitting president in a news conference with a foreign leader make a statement calling the opponent’s candidate unfit for office. That coming from the man who has lied to Americans almost as much as Hillary and Bill Clinton...

Plus he galvanized his surrogates to go out and hit Hillary and Obama hard...

Whether intended or unintended (you never quite know with Trump), he got the media to talk about a pallet-load of laundered (dollars to Swiss francs and Euros) cash and the American hostages.

Here is the Daybreak Bias Corrected USC-Dornsife Poll. This poll is corrected for a 1.3% bias (in the opinion of daybreak.com) in the actual USC poll. Scroll down the page a bit to get to the "corrected" USC version. I like it better. Trump is up .7%.

I'm still of the opinion that the USC-Dornsife Poll is the best we have in terms of bias. Take a look at Daybreak's take on the many phony polls that we have been seeing lately. It's an eye-opener but will be no real surprise to Freepers.

Bottom Line: We have a Trump-Hillary tie at this point in the race. I think that is good because Hillary has had her best shot and now faces 3 Trump-Hillary debates and Wikileaks and DONALD TRUMP. She should be toast in a month or two.

Methodology

I went looking and couldn’t find much. Iirc, they require you to join to go deeper. They didn’t say you’d get access to the internals. I assume that is included.

I don’t trust polls that don’t reveal internals. Too easy to turn on one candidate or another when it is politically helpful.

The debates will bury Clinton

Right after the GOP convention, former Dem PA Gov Rendell commented that Trump was so far ahead in the polls that Trump should consider cancelling the debates and stay on the campaign trail.

This past week, some of the 'stretched' polls showed Clinton between 7 and 15 points ahead.

It struck me that that could be a potential strategy to get Clinton out of the debates -- they claim she is polling so far ahead that she doesn't need to debate.

Her seemingly collapsing lead ruins that excuse.

I still think Team Clinton will try to find some way to get her out of the debates. One 'Get the transcript, Candy' moment or slip-up could ruin a political career.

This is the exact same team which developed RAND in 2012 and correctly predicted the 2012 election based on their own polling + panelists, so until events dictate otherwise I am going to error on the side of trusting their methods. Although I do wish they would account for the other candidates and publish the “Other” or not voting options.

"Methodology"

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-usc-daybreak-poll-methodology-20160714-snap-story.html

It's the same methodology as the Rand Poll that was #4 in 2012. It's innovative methodology, but since Gallup was so bad in 2012 that they gave up polling presidential elections, "something" new is needed in the wireless era. Is this "it"? We will see, "in the fullness of time".

If Trump can avoid being distracted and attacking any irrelavent losers until the election, I think he can win it.

Use but don’t trust

Anything produced by a major public university in the realm of social outlook should be held at arm’s length. jmho

The Ronald Reagan dictum: “Trust but verify.” They have made it difficult if not possible to verify, ergo, don’t trust.

Good news. What do you know about the methodology used in this poll?

They use the same subgroup, so long as they are participating, and circle back to them once a week. Each day has a sample size of somewhere between 300-400 people. Right now, the sample size is at about 2,200ish.

Apparently the folks at 538 claim they based their sample on the Obama/Romney race by asking who they voted for in that election, using the 51/47 breakdown for Obama/Romney in that race.

Of course the left-leaning hacks at 538 question that methodology.

It’s nice to be told how they get their numbers but they don’t show their demographics, weightings, etc. Without that it’s not possible to evaluate any agendas, questions, etc.

As of yesterday, Reuter’s Ipsos only showed Clinton with a 2.4 point lead. On Monday it was 8 points.

It is still the people who developed RAND that are running it, just rebranded for the Times. And their final numbers for 2012 were Obama 49.5%, Romney 46.1%j, within .5 of the final spread.

If anything I would think that methodology would favor Clinton but who know.
