None of the rest are gaining any ground.
Its time to stop the circus and give the top people more time

if well-conducted they can be decent 'discussions,' and everyone should participate.

And both are similar online tracker polls of survey panels where the same group of voters are polled over and over.

It's a puzzle.

I know that Morning Consult is an online weekly tracker poll that surveys the same group of people every week, but c'mon... it never seems to change! lol

Anyone can check out how unchanging it is for themselves at RCP POLLS:

Stuff like this is useful for trendlines but they almost always lag well behind random call and whatnot polls.

But it's so different in this regard, it stands out even compared to other online tracking polls.

Go figure.
