Report on poll here.
I think this is indicative of the ?Live Caller" vs. Internet or "Robo-caller" divide again.
All we have had for weeks are crappy internet polls and robo polls. Now we have a traditional survey to examine.
Let's just hope that Live caller interviews are indeed better, as I suspect they are.

(3,072 posts)These shitty ass online polls are the bane of our existence right now. If the polling companies were operating the same way as 2012 or earlier, no one would be able to pretend this was a close race. Real polls show Clinton up by over 6 points, at minimum. These brand new, never tested, and unnecessary online polls are showing something completely different. Why did we need these? The polls have been accurate since 1952. All of a sudden we need highly experimental and unproven methodology? Why? Because its cheap and it give the results that the media wants. Not what is accurate. The real results are not close. The jackasses in the media are pushing these semi-fake polls because it gives them the story they are begging for: a horserace...kind of. Its just infuriating.
