ABC news poll shows Hillary leading by 4??

What is going on? Did they fix the internals? What was the spread in the last ABC poll? Also, on This Week they showed voters that did not care about the Access Hollywood tapes. They said men talk like that. It is hard to watch....

You know things are going well when winning by four as seen as bad. This is about an 8 point race right now.

Then those tapes and a flood of women come out and it is still a 4 point race? Yes, 8 would be great! The NBC News/WSJ poll is a good spread to me. I don't know if ABC NEWS increased the number of Republicans in their poll or if we are seeing that disgusting man bounce back again after all of the coverage. I simply do not understand it.
