Let's talk about the ABC/WaPo poll.

I couldn't wait to get home today, expecting to see relief posts about the reverse trend. National poll HRC vs Trump 8%. All four Hillary 5%.

I know the episode in NYC will provide news fodder for a while, but there's good news we can be talking about!

I read (skimmed) the detailed write-up in RealClearPolitics but couldn't find the info about the dates this poll covered.
