A minus at 538.

Love those red avatars shouting 'JUNK' whenever a poll result doesn't fit their narrative.

Still, Clinton had some great polls today to counterbalance this one.

IBD does this crap every election. A month or so before the election they release a poll that's a wild outlier to get attention (OBAMA AND MCCAIN TIED!!!) and then a few days before they release a second one that's in line with what all the other pollsters show.
Hence their high rating.

Now why would they do that? And you are cherrypicking data. In 2008:

11/1 - 11/3     Obama +8
10/22 - 10/26 Obama +3
10/18 - 10/22 Obama +1
10/14 - 10/18 Obama +5
10/7 - 10/13   Obama +3
9/2 - 9/7         Obama +5
8/4 - 8/9         Obama +5
7/7 - 7/11       Obama +3
6/2 - 6/8         Obama +3
5/12 - 5/18     Obama +11
1/2 - 1/4         McCain +12

So, since the start of the actual campaign they had Obama in the lead all the time, only the margin varied. They never had a tie.

Thats not to say they couldnt be wrong now, but they do have a pretty good record.

They also had a mid-October poll where they showed Obama just 1 point ahead of McCain.

True, modified it. So maybe this one is an outlier to, but I refuse to accept they are doing this on purpose.
