statespoll.com have the USC poll at a 5+ spread. Remember, USC “changed its methodology” three days ago. Now, they said it was just in how they “called” the margin of error, but honestly I think they manipulated a bit more because it’s clear that statespoll.com has adjusted them three days running.

Looking at the graph it’s obvious (to my eye, at least) that the last 3 days are a result of the “adjustment.” It doesn’t look like typical movement in a rolling daily poll. Also, the shaded area is significantly narrower all the way back to the beginning.

I’m sure the pressure to modify their methodology was tremendous; Trump was likely going to touch 50% and HRC was likely headed for 39%.

In 4 more days the “reset” will be complete and we will see what the new normal is for this poll.
