Notice it says Adults, It doesn’t say registered or likely voters. Which means the poll can be dismissed as totally worthless

"Notice it says Adults, It doesn’t say registered or likely voters. Which means the poll can be dismissed as totally worthless"

If it's worthless, then it falsely showed Trump as being ahead.

But "ASKED OF LEANED REPUBLICANS" refers to questions 11 through 13, and the article written from it claimed the respondents to the Trump questions were "registered Republicans and Republican-leaning independents" (Poll: Trump surges to big lead in GOP presidential race, Washington Post, Dan Balz and Peyton M. Craighill, as accessed July 20, 2015, http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/poll-trump-surges-to-big-lead-in-gop-presidential-race/2015/07/20/efd2e0d0-2ef8-11e5-8f36-18d1d501920d_story.html).

So it was either a "worthless" poll in the campaign for Trump, as you wrote, or 62% of respondents who were Republican and Republican-leaning independents "definitely would not" vote for Trump.
