2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumOh, look at that. Rasmussen's Clinton vs Trump poll swings six points back to Clinton...in one week
From 37-42 (Trump +5) last week to 40-39 (Clinton +1).
Major reason for the change? Clinton now supported by 75% of the black demographic vs 57% last week.
And that should tell you exactly how seriously you should take the Rasmussen weekly tracking poll.
