LOL, LA Times poll FINALLY shows a CLinton lead. Just 1 point, but still.

1. I'm leery of that poll

I looked at the polling technique, and it doesn't strike me as random.

They have 4500 people, and they ask 1/7th of them for their feedback. What happens if some people don't reply? Do they simply move onto someone else in the group of 4500?

Based on my personal experience, teabaggers work very hard to convince themselves AND others that they're in the majority, so that group might be more likely to reply to such polls.

2. you should be.

they clearly have a panel that does not reflect a mean of opinion. But the fact that even THAT poll shows a Clinton lead is very telling.

3. You have to understand the position of the LA Times and who owns them

Maybe you give me dunce hat here

But if they want to peddle a position to please their supervisors whose view is to increase eyeballs then being controversial with things like skewed polling only makes sense. Why would someone who is conservative or middle of the road want to pick up a paper that says Hillary is kicking Trumps ass. Besides they need to sell newspapers for the next Three months+.
