The Washington Post has polled all fifty states.
No, it was C- online pollster Survey Monkey.

Really, just stop. You can't discount polls just because they are from a C- pollster as long the results look right. And in this case, they do.

And the Washington Post did play a role in this poll.

Yes, Ohio being to the right of Texas and Mississippi over a 24 day polling period looks right

50 state polls are bound to have a few inconsistencies, but it's (a) better than Ipsos, (b) previous polls in Texas and Mississippi have shown it within single digits, and other polls have shown a Trump lead in Ohio.

They have nothing to do with WaPo still.

This has nothing to do with WaPo. Ipsos state survey has not same sample as they weekly polls, but is still done by Ipsos. Same here.

And Ipsos is an A pollster, so you trust it's results, right?After all A=automatically good and C- = automatically bad.

The truth is that Reuters does have an effect on the Ipsos polling, and the Washington Post did affect this poll when it comes to weighting.

Based on what?

Whatever... You're choosing the polls Smiley

For one, it has less of a house effect and has produced more accurate polls this election.
