USC Dornsife/L.A. Times Daybreak Poll
Trump 43%
Clinton 40%

Weighted Panel of 3,000 Voters; MoE +/- 3.

This is new daily tracking poll, which debuted today.  Some info on the methodology:

It appears that they ask "Someone Else" instead of naming Johnson/Stein.  I can't find the numbers for "someone else" or the undecideds in the linked article.

More on the methodology here:
https://uasdata.usc.edu/data/election-poll

They basically ask 1/7th of the panel who they are going to vote for and the percentage chance they will vote per day, so 450 or so people are requestioned every day.  Everyone theoretically gets asked once a week.  They then weigh the results based on likelihood of vote and demographics to come up with a new topline at midnight (presumably Pacific time) every day, using the previous week's results.  

Friday's results were closer than Thursday's, probably 42-41 Trump, but I can't say for sure because USC didn't provide real numbers, just a graph.

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

No.  It's a real tracking poll called a panel survey that uses the same panel over and over again instead of finding a new random sample every day.  The panel is supposedly a representative sample of the electorate (with the pollsters even providing tablets and internet access to those without a computer).   There is no magic in recruiting a new panel every day if the original sample is representative - it just costs the pollster more money.

Panel surveys have been used for tracking polls in the past.  They're probably better for spotting trends than the toplines alone.

The other quirk that this pollster uses is weighing responses based on probability of voting instead of using a traditional likely voter screen.

USC/LA Times national tracking poll (7/19):
Trump - 43 (+/-)
Clinton - 43 (+1)
(#) denotes change from previous day

I see Trump 42.8, Clinton 42.6 if you're into decimals.

If you heart decimals, it's Trump 44.2, Clinton 42.3.

By the way, for my headline, I've been rounding the difference, not the numbers.  So if it's Clinton +0.6, I say Clinton +1.

Quote from: Left on October 16, 2016, 06:05:01 PM
10/15 Trump +3
Trump 46% (=)
Clinton 43% (=)

What does this mean? I thought poll has trump up 1 point not 3?

Those are the imputed numbers for today's sample.  It is a 7-day rolling average.  Left has been computing the numbers that have been added today to make the 7-day poll what it is.

Again, Left's numbers are for the one-day sample added today to the total 7-day sample reported by the L.A. Times.

Or Seriously? faked the poll numbers he posted. Wouldn't be shocking tbh.

I check the numbers for myself practically every day someone has posted them.  They are accurate at the time they were posted.

The Seriously? numbers you cited are exactly what is currently reported for those dates on USC's poll website.  Nothing is changed:

http://cesrusc.org/election/

What website are you looking at for LA Times results?  Your dates seem to be for the polling date that is one day before what is reported on the USC website.  There must be difference in what your site and USC is reporting as the poll date.

Something is wierd here

http://cesrusc.org/election/

Seems to report 46.4-43.2

but

http://graphics.latimes.com/usc-presidential-poll-dashboard/

reports 46.0-44.1

Both are for 10/30

Is the former the projection and later the raw data ?

The L.A. Times' numbers are one day behind.  The 10/30 sample on the L.A. Times website is the 10/29 sample on the USC website.  I don't think the L.A. Times has updated its graphics with today's numbers.
