This is the poll that canvases the same 3000 people, apx 400 per day, so the same people get asked apx every week (they don’t all respond every week). It is a unique methodology. Its pertinence is questioned by some because it is not random every time like other polls. But it should be a good directional indicator. One problem I see with this poll is selection bias and other biases. The people being polled know they are in this poll, and know what other people in the poll are saying by reading the daily tracking. That could influence them in ways, such as herd mentality. But it’s been fun to watch. In a way I am sad the campaign is coming to an end. But hopefully the fireworks are just getting started. FBI vs NYPD vs DOJ vs State Dept vs Congress vs Wikileaks vs Russia vs NSA... a cage match for the soul of the government.

...Obverting the Bradley Effect. Give me the herd any day, at least they can be head-counted.

My only two problems with this poll are one, is that is not a two way race but a four way race. Stein and Johnson take a point or two from PIAPS. Two, it is a +7 DEM poll. I think reality is this is, at best a +2 DEM election.

That cage match may get out into the wild.
