So much for Dornsife. The NBC survey monkey, another tracking panel, puts Hillary ahead by 8.

Nationally.

I prefer traditional polls to these tracking polls, but Dornsife has been an outlier all along.

Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump nationally by 8 percentage points, according to an NBC News/SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll released Tuesday.

The poll found Clinton leads Trump 50 percent to 42 percent -- a lead that’s not much different from her 9-percentage-point lead last week.

In a four-way match-up, Clinton leads Trump 43 percent to 38 percent while 11 percent back Libertarian Gary Johnson and 5 percent support Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

Clinton has an extensive lead among black voters with 87 percent supporting her compared to the 8 percent who back Trump. Nearly three-quarters of Hispanic voters also support Clinton compared to 22 percent who support Trump. Two-thirds of Asian Americans support Clinton, the poll found, while 23 percent support Trump.
