Has been going down all week. She hasnt lost much lost support, trump has just gotten more. It is the fake undecided voter who was always going to vote trump making his numbers rise.

I had been wondering why the ABC poll was moving so much faster than the other polls. I thought it might have been methodology, but you're right. She's not losing that much support, he's just gaining from 'undecided' voters.

It's good that The Deplorables finally decided to be honest with the pollsters so there's not a suprise different from polling on Election Day.

Unlikely that any calls last night are included in polling reported this morning.

So not only do you completely screw up interpretation based on the dates, the ABC poll has it even closer than before. There is no good news there.

The IBD poll earlier this week as the most accurate poll, now I bet they will jump on the ABC poll. Probably say stuff like "if he is down only two in that liberal biased poll, then he must really be up"

all jumping to conclusions with both of these. Lets see how the weekend pounding of hillary AND Comey pans out and polls that come out tuesday morning. Otherwise its all noise

Also, what kind of BS poll sees that much change in that short of time, with basically nothing happening in between??
