2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumLA Times Outlier Poll, Hillary +5
http://www.latimes.com/politics/Updated today.
This is that poll that they ask the same people everyday and average the last seven days. It's the only poll Trump quotes now because it had him within 1. Well the tide has turned even in this poll and Hillary +4 means the last few days have been devastating to him.
This poll is flawed and not predictive of the country and who they'll vote for. But it does show a trend of people switching from Trump to Hillary. Trump was +7 three weeks ago.
No poll to use at all for Dim Don now. These polls are all great, their real value right now to us is to depress the Republicans and create disunity within the party.
This election is viewed as a disaster for the GOP. Dems goals are to maximize the damage now, not just to win.

It is useful to see how voters who initially committed to one candidate are moving around.

Now this is gone for him too.
Think about this poll, they ask the same 315 people every morning who they will vote for. Most of the vote the same way every single day. In the last 3 weeks about 35 of them who voted for Dim Don every day switched to Hillary. That is the only significance for this poll.

The lone poll Dim Don has been bragging about now has him down 5, that is pleasing.
