Daily Tracking polls are the worst (Remember Gallup and Rasmussen)

Beware of tracking polls. In 2012, the only pollsters to predict a Romney Victory were Gallup and Rasmussen, both daily tracking polls.
Now we have that new, weird and untested LA times tracking poll which seems headed in that direction too.

Stick with accurate pollsters such as the Washington Post and NBC.
