How can Trump have a lead in a major battleground state, when the latest national poll has Hillary far ahead???

Or was that the poll, by Reuters, I belive? in which they changed the methodology of the poll so they could show Hillary in the lead????

No way Hillary can have a lead nationwide, but be falling this far behind in a key battleground state such as Virginia.

Granted that polls are a small sample, and are a snapshot of a point in time. But polls should not be fundamentally at odds with each other. If the national poll showing Hillary ahead is accurate, then Hillary should also be ahead in the state of Virginia.

The national polls don’t show her with a big lead and some have them virtually tied.

That was Reuters and Clinton was up by double digits in it about a week or so ago. That same poll showed Trump close the lead dramatically but now he leads by 2 in the last one. So now they change their methodology and sample 70% instead of 60% Democrat. They have no credibility anymore.
