12. Morning Consult is almost always an outlier in Hillary's favor.
Tue Sep 29, 2015, 09:16 AM

Go to this link please: http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-national-democratic-primary#!mindate=2015-05-01&estimate=custom


Then use your cursor to hover over those little purple dots well above the median line. You will see that Morning Consult has now had 5 polls in a row well outside the median in Hillary's favor (including this one which is not on the chart as of this posting). Nearly half of those dots above the line in the last month are from them. They are skewing the average in her favor.


I don't know if their methodology is flawed or if they are just in the tank for her, but the pattern is very clear.

You can put your hopes here if you want, but you may be in for a big disappointment fairly soon.





edit to add: They had her at 54% to Bernie's 24% in the 9/11 - 9/13 poll. So even according to this inaccurate pollster, she has lost a lot of ground in the last couple of weeks.
