Can we PLEASE stop fixating on a single bad poll…

…without looking at several other reputable polls taken in the same time-frame? I'm thinking of the Hampton VA poll, obviously, but this has happened all-too-often here -- a lone poll showing Trump ahead somewhere gets released, and immediately becomes top news here, when several other polls, by equally- or more-reputable pollsters showing a Clinton lead for the same time period, don't even get mentioned.

There is a huge difference between posting positive polls to increase esprit de corps and posting negative ones to decrease it.

2. Why not look at the aggregate?

She has around 2.3 to every 1 of his voters. No matter what any one poll says, they all say she has him beat in numbers.

4. The trumpets are angry at the TargetSmart/William and Mary poll.

This poll has Hilary beating Trump in Florida by 8 points, and has Marco Rubio winning reelection by 6 points. The Trumpets don't argue the Rubio poll as being BS, But they want to trash the poll about Hilary.
And boy, are they whinning about it!
