1. I hope so...we all have to act as if it is close so we all vote.... !!!

2. No. Just bad pollsters. They had some polls at times that were too much for Clinton

I am kind of surprised at the size of their sample from 18 to 45 though. I would have to check to see if it is comparable with other pollsters.

3. They've been doing that in all polls

Either shoddy inexpensive methodology, getting a representative sample is more expensive, or they do it on purpose for the horserace

Older people are easier to reach and more likely to respond to polls which introduces a Trump bias in almost all polls.

7. I agree

Older people are more likely to have house phones.

5. YES

They were the first to release a pro maggot poll after HRC's convention bounce.
Lets make a "race" the last 3 weeks.

[Renew Deal]

6. They have been doing it since the primaries

They put a poll out near the debate saying things are unexpectedly close. They've done it over and over.

8. Let them approach the election with their heads in the sand.

We can't replicate Rove's on-air meltdown without stuff like this.
