Trump-Biased LA Times poll shows Clinton gaining, Trump falling

Everyone agrees that the LA Times tracking poll is extremely biased towards Trump, but it does show trends.

It shows 9/15 as the likely bottom of Clinton's health scare polling. On the 16th, Clinton started gaining again and Trump started falling.

The LA Times panel favors Trump by quite a bit and it shows Trump with a ceiling of 47%. If you subtract a few percent to put this poll back in line with other polls, it shows that there are plenty of undecided voters left to support a Clinton victory.

If the rolls were reversed and Clinton was stuck at 47%, all of the right wingers would be saying "even after Trump collapsed on video, Clinton can't hit 50%!" Trump may have a problem with there being too many intelligent people who aren't fooled by his tricks.

This race is far from over, and there will be more ugly polls released that include data from those bad days, but Clinton appears to be back on track now.

I have never seen so many in the media and on the fence Dems fired up so much so quickly. After Trump's fake press conference and attempt to say Clinton started it and he finished it, followed by his disarm her guards comment, it all changed. The polls will totally begin to change as this starts factoring in. 7-10 days from now the polls will be heading all in Sec. Clinton's direction.
