Anybody else notice a strange lack of polling following the first debate? [View all]

There were polls several times a week, sometimes two or more appearing in one day back at the beginning, spring and summer of this year.

Poll after poll all the way up until it actually matters.

hmmm...

Not into CT's but if they are running out of money it sure looks like piss poor planning to me.

I didn't check today, but I haven't seen any polls from Ohio since the debate. Buckeye_Democrat Oct 2016 #8

I don't think budget cutbacks are the reason. I think the polls disprove the horse race narrative. LonePirate Oct 2016 #9
