Tracking polls are find, it's just silly to pay attention to daily fluctuations. I think the way SurveyMonkey does it, releasing a result once a week, is better.

This ABC almost seems to be a hybrid.

Wait, I'm confused. Why did they skip Monday if this is a daily tracker?

2-way numbers: Clinton 51%, Trump 43%.

Looks like this is going to be a daily updating 4-day tracking poll. Today's poll was from October 21-24.

Continuing the trend of a Trump recovery with Republicans, while Clinton stays about the same.

The lead is insurmountable. Worrying about 'tightening' is absurd when there is a) an electoral firewall; and b) no collapse in Clinton's numbers - her floor is still above his ceiling.

Not absurd when she was +9 to +12 previously and flirting with a small but hopeful possibility of helping Democrats take the House.

MFW I completely ignore the recent Clinton hold or gain in the Hart/Suffolk/AP-GFK/PPP/YouGov polls to make a bad tightening joke:

problems with this theory:
1. There is still a little bit of time for people to change - numbers are closer than what would make me comfortable.
2. wikileaks/ clinton foundation/ e-mails - dumb voters can't be underestimated.
3. vote is not popular - it only takes a small shift for states like FL, NC, NV, OH, IA to go for Trump and then the margin is razor thin enough that some small region could swing it in any one state pretty much. remember despite all the firewall talk, if the election is a tie, Trump is more likely to win than Clinton.

Momentum for Trump.  Cuts a 12-point lead in half in three days. Ahead by this time next week?

I think this is more a case of regression to the norm. All of the other polls don't indicate of such a thing, but if you want to believe this, then go ahead.

How about we all realize the poll was an outlier and now has corrected than make other assumptions.  That may be better for you all.

The amount of dog sweat in this thread is reaching flash flood levels.  There is no tightening in the aggregate.  For every +5 Clinton poll there is a +9 and a +12.  Outliers on the low side are +3-4.  Outliers on the high side are +14-15.  Put on doggy deodorant and calm down.

She probably hasn't... but we'll see how the other polls line up.

But I assume this will send some of our more delicate posters into some kind of tail-spin.

She hasn't. Hence why tracking polls suck. Its best to poll over a set period of time and average the numbers. Some days will be R-friendly, some D-friendly, thats why you average and get a topline.

She hasn't.  It's a tracker and trackers are typically horrible.

There is virtually no difference between trackers/non-trackers.

It is not pollster's fault, that Dems are not capable to average Roll Eyes
