Time Frame: AUG 08, 2015 - NOV 27, 2015 (5 Day Rolling)

These things reflect an interesting trend in the way people consume news and therefore, perceptions of the 5 day rolling average.

I think you'll see HRC people jump right on this because every 5 days, it's important to control the message.

I believe what we do as Americans in this important race continue to be what the we do every single day when we talk about the issues. Meanwhile, do not expect any polling data to do anything more than inflame the very persons who's task it is to control the message.

Meanwhile, I'm involved in a grass roots movement. You know... the same kind that the real members of Unions are supposed to have... NOT those who keep controlling the "message".

I see the filters, but when I click their link is shows Clinton with a commanding lead. I guess I am suppose to click filters for fun until I get what I want. Oops, polls are showing what I want.

The numbers change easily and quickly if your cursor rolls past a date in the past.

With such small sample sizes, you can count on the daily numbers bouncing quite a bit. Celebrating one day's results that are very much of the average is celebrating an outlier. FWIW, your mileage obviously varies.
