To me I smell a rat.

Meanwhile Boris Shitstain is on crapping his pants with made up spin.

1. What poll?

The latest NBC poll after the debate has HRC up 9.

2. Polls always show fluctuations of a few points from day to day.

So this particular poll is up 1%? BFD. Doesn't mean anything; the only thing that matters is trends over time of polls, collectively.

3. When was this poll conducted

I cannot believe anything after friday would show him up 1% unless it's some crap poll created to lend that result.

4. Without details on what poll, when was it conducted, what type of poll (methods), this posting is

impossible to take seriously. Please come back and gives us details or enlist anyone else who watched the segment to weigh in.

6. USC/LA Times poll has Trump up 2

Which is down from the 4-5 point lead he had last week. This poll has had a consistent Trump bias throughout the election cycle, but it is different from other polls. It samples the same 2,500 or so people on a 7 day basis, so about 350 people per day. Therefore it will take a week for the effects of the tape and the debate to get fully baked in. Since it samples the same group of people, the sample will retain any initial bias towards one candidate or the other throughout the election. I look at it as more representative of how entrenched support is for either candidate. That the results have been so stable suggests that not many people are changing their minds about how they will vote, which is borne out by the floor Trump seems to have in some of the other polling.

In the end, it's just one poll and it looks like a clear outlier when compared to the other traditional national polls, which are also backed up by individual state poll results.
