(4,392 posts)Has been going down all week. She hasnt lost much lost support, trump has just gotten more. It is the fake undecided voter who was always going to vote trump making his numbers rise.

(4,563 posts)I had been wondering why the ABC poll was moving so much faster than the other polls. I thought it might have been methodology, but you're right. She's not losing that much support, he's just gaining from 'undecided' voters.

(1,837 posts)It's good that The Deplorables finally decided to be honest with the pollsters so there's not a suprise different from polling on Election Day.

(28,762 posts)Unlikely that any calls last night are included in polling reported this morning.

(1,837 posts)27th last day not 28th. Not last night.
So not only do you completely screw up interpretation based on the dates, the ABC poll has it even closer than before. There is no good news there.

(4,563 posts)So none of the data comes from yesterday.

(4,392 posts)The IBD poll earlier this week as the most accurate poll, now I bet they will jump on the ABC poll. Probably say stuff like "if he is down only two in that liberal biased poll, then he must really be up"
