10/27: 48-44 in the 4way, 50-45 in the two way.

How tf has hillary lost 8 points in less than a week?

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

Sassy doesn't suit you.

Stop boofing drugs.  Trackers often ask the same group of people over and over throughout the campaign.

She was never 12 points ahead, it was an outline result then. More likely she was around 8 but there's no doubt Trump is gaining. CNN - 5 points, Fox - 3 points, ABC/WP - 4 points. Sounds true and quite encouraging.

Pew - 6 points
Suffolk - 9 points
NBC - 9 points
AP -15 points

Sounds quite encouraging.

RCP says the average is 4.5 not 9.75. And that's including three of those polls.

RCP also includes daily updates of the L.A times tracking poll, Rasmussen tracking poll and IBD tracking poll to skew the average. The best aggregate is Huffington post f.y.i.

It looks like the main polls and daily trackers are converging on a 3-6 point lead for Clinton, she seems likely to beat Obama 2012 margins but not Obama 2008 margins, pretty much what has been forecasted on here for the past few weeks, no?

The trackers are generally skewing lower, and the main polls, higher.

Yeah a good amount of polls have fit into that range though, CNN, Fox News, Reuters/Ipsos, Yougov, Pew, NBC/Surveymonkey. It seems like the outliers are polls like Gravis, Rasmussen, and USC on the down side and AP, NBC, and USA Today on the upside.

It was a responce to very offensive (Cry"Stop boofing drugs."
Would be nice if you condemn it as well? CryCryCry

Otherwise, it is a little bit hypocritical, don't you think so?

Obama was getting +3 and +5 polls the last week in October of 2008 too. Pollsters will herd on a margin next week.

No. One is not nice, but a colloquialism "what are you smoking" etc, the other is racially loaded.

USA is not Austria/Brexit-2016 and Hillary is not Obama 08/12.

Actually, if you look at the polling from 2008, the polls are actually very similarly.

I know, but pollsters herding their numbers to save their reputations is a constant recurrence in American politics.

The main difference between now and 2008 is whether or not the slow downward trend for Clinton's lead continues, in 2008 the last minute polls had him surge and the final result for him was actually -0.3% from the RCP average, this year we likely we have 1 more major poll coming out from Fox, NBC, etc.

In what way? Marginwise? Yes, since Hillary is about +6-7 right now.

My point was though that you cannot blindly say: Obama under/overperformed polls in state X ( or nationally in 12) and won election, so will Clinton. We might see the same pattern though, and yeah, Clinton higly likely win this election.

Obama's average didnt have to deal with 3 daily tracking polls either.

From the ABC article:  Shifts of this size have occurred in ABC News and ABC News/Washington Post tracking polls in two previous elections. In 1996, Bill Clinton went from a 19- to a 10-point lead over Bob Dole in five days. In 1992, a particularly wild ride, Bill Clinton went from +14 to +7 against George Bush in four days; back to +19 in the next four days; back to +11 in four more days; and then dropped further, to +3, toward the end of the race. Final estimates in both polls were accurate.
