LA Times recent results finally published on RCP, and yes, folks, they do admit that Trump now leads by 5 in said poll, which uses a sample of 3,000 likely voters.

It would be incredible if he could win. We can ditch the liberals demos and GOPe.

RCP is ran by partisan Liberals.

There was nothing special about predicting the 2012 election. Mittens was paid to throw the election.

Isn’t it sad that we Conservatives are all so shell-shocked that we can’t even begin to let ourselves even HOPE a teeny-tiny bit that maybe, possibly, hopefully our wretched, corrupt, bought-and-paid-for-two-party-system may be breathing its last?

I follow a few poll aggregator sites and they are all very slow to show Trump’s advance. And very resentful.
I hate to say so but 538 seems to be doing the best job IMO.

The media gives the RCP averages way too much credit..

In a stable race, it's a good barometer... In this race, where 2 huge events occurred over the weekend, polls done weeks ago are absolutely irrelevant.... It also captures polls where the D/R ratio is silly, like YouGov which is D+9

Same with Golden Boy Nate Silver, who still has her at 65% probability.... He's mixing polls from weeks ago with current polls.. Look at the last 6 FL polls... 5 have Trump ahead, 1 is tied... But the sickly criminal gets to nod!

If they would add the other two candidates the poll would be around 1%

RCP is run by conservatives, and they are unbiased. The only reason the Clinton leads, is that some normally respected polling outfits, are putting out some bogus polls, to explicitly keep Clinton's average up.

If you look at the CBS/Yougov sample, it's pretty ridiculous. I believe they are adding a Tea Party favor ability question to specifically exclude Democrats voting for Trump, when the weight the sample. The Tea Party unfavorability is WAY to high, especially for this election!
