It’s a tale of two electorates in the ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll, with shifts in intended turnout moving a large advantage for Hillary Clinton a week ago to a far tighter 2016 presidential race today.

Partisan divisions are 37-29-29 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.

They’re gonna blame Clinton’s loss on a “shift in the electorate’s makeup”?

Wow, what princesses.

Skepticism towards the original story (doubting the accuracy of the D+8 sample in particular).

The article is garbage. The writer said that Hillary’s -3 is not problematic, but said Trump +8 is nothing.

No, no, no - I’m talking about the IBD/TIPP poll, which Trump was slightly leading in, showing Hillary gaining ground while at the exact same time, the poll highly favorable to Hillary showed her collapsing. The fact the initial 12 point lead for Hillary was bogus in the ABC poll wasn’t what was a surprise.
