Once again Trump is leading in the three tracking polls (UCS/Dornsife, Rasmussen, IBD/TIPP), whereas he is way down in the MSM single shot polls. Obviously both cannot be right.
My money is on the tracking polls.
Depends on what they are measuring. I do believe that Clinton has a 6 point lead among people with land lines only, and no caller ID. I tend to weight the polls that did well in 2012 heavier than the polls that didn't.
Apparently all news outlets need their own polls -- to generate news. Presumably, their accountants want "cheap", but "cheap" and "good" are mutually exclusive goals when it comes to opinion polling. "Cheap" and "newsworthy" OTOH...
Expect this nonsense to continue up until the week before the election.
IBD was top ranked in 2012!
USC/LaTimes is no longer sitting out there alone. Now 3 major polls are agreeing.
