There's got to be frantic discussions behind the scene on how to either dump that ramshackle pos poll and/or whose head(s) should roll.

yet RCP continues to include it in their daily polls. There's a link somewhere in their page that clearly says it's skewed toward Republicans. It never fails to to amuse me. That aside, Clinton's lead is growing by the day on nearly all polls except for that one!

It is a bastion of conservative thinking in Southern California. Their bias is obvious. They admit their poll is skewed, and they also state that it trails the updated results of other polls by a week or more. Why it is included in the RCP polls average is beyond me. It is such an outlier as to be ludicrous.

Post-debate polls show Trump slump

Clinton’s bounce appears to have staked the Democratic nominee to a low-to-mid-single-digit advantage nationally.

going to use it on a forum mostly for republicans. Am sure they will flame the hell out of me and back but worth the effort. Back in the early '60s I wanted to go to USC but didn't have the $$ for tuition. Times were different back then. So I got married, had 3 kids, remained a Democrat for the duration thankfully!
