USC/LA Times national tracking poll (7/23):
Trump - 45 (+1)
Clinton - 42 (+/-)
(#) denotes change from previous day

Anyone have a demographic breakdown?
No, I can't find any

Well if they are accurate then it is scary for Democrats because the RNC by any objective opinion was a disaster.

Did you really expect for Trump not to get at least a small bump from his convention?

At least he can reach his high ceiling of 45% again. If he can break that and reach closer to 50% by next week, then it'll be high alert at the DNC

lol this is such junk

I can't be the only one thinking that it is pretty much statistically impossible for them day after day, with such a small n of respondents, to have results that only vary a point or two. There should be more variation with such a small sample.

This poll is METHODOLOGICALLY a clone of a poll run by the Rand Corporation in 2012.

The Rand poll did VERY well - their final poll has Obama +4, and the actual result was Obama +3.9.

Two questions:

Did Rand just "get lucky" in 2012? (Zogby did well in 1996, and Rasmussen was awesome in 2004, so one swallow does not spring make)

The Rand Corporation is anal retentive/obsessive compulsive on quality control, is USC in the same league?

This is a very interesting, but ultimately unproven polling methodology.

So this actually isn't really a poll and should probably not be recorded as such.

In 2012 The Rand Corporation poll predicted Obama +4, and the actual result was Obama + 3.9

This is a VERY serious methodology.  The Rand corporation has had 32 (!) persons associated with the company win various Nobel prizes for everything from economics to physics.

I have questions if USC can match Rand in terms of anal retentive/obsessive compulsive validation and quality control, but this is indeed a VERY serious poll.

Dubious methodology. Questionable randomness.

This poll is different, but most things touched by the Rand Corporation are well outside the box.

For the record... In 2012 Rand predicted Obama +4.0% - The actual was +3.9$

It could have simply been beginner's luck, but the Rand corporation is a VERY serious research organization - Staff members at Rand have won 32 (!) Nobel Prizes over the years.

Looking at the demographics seem to indicate they have done a very poor job constructing a representative sample.

It never fails to amaze me how statistically illiterate people here are when all we do all day is analyze polls.

So the "July 25th" result is really centered on July 22nd. That explains why the convention bounce didn't apparently start until after the convention.

Well if we assume an MOE of +-4%, we can add 4 to Clinton and subtract 4 from Trump. Ok now Clinton's leading by 3 so we're looking good so far but we're not done yet. If we assume 95% confidence, we can take another 5% confidence points off Trump and Clinton's now leading by 8 points. So really, this poll says Clinton leads by 8.

They real should teach statistics, or at least math and critical thinking in the schools.

Why did they stop doing that BTW?

Dubious methodology. Questionable randomness.

A factual point of information:

The Rand Corporation (or the "Bland Corporation" for you Dr. Strangelove fans) ran a poll based upon essentially identical methodology in 2012 and came within 0.1% of predicting the actual margin of victory.  Rand had Obama +4.0, the actual was Obama +3.9

The Rand Corporation has also had 32 members of it's staff win the Nobel Prize in various disciplines over the years.  This may be an internet based poll but it's about as far from John Zogby as you can get.  RAnd is not a bunch of underfunded lightweights to put it very mildly.

The methodology is new, and unproven over a long term series of races,  so I would personally put this poll under the "worth watching, but unproven" category - but that being said this is a VERY serious and legitimate effort to get it right.
