Poll says that 30% of the electorate less likely to vote for Clinton because of this, vast majority are Trump supporters, 60% don't care or it doesn't effect their vote. Only 7% of Clinton supporters say this makes them less likely to vote for her, that feels like a decent number, but I feel like a decent pushback and defense by the campaign should be able to mitigate that number.
How did this compare to the access Hollywood tape?

You had 14% of Republicans saying he should drop out of the race and another 9% say their congressman/congresswoman should disavow him

Jesus this poll is a disaster. An 11 point swing within a week? I don't think so.

Changing your LV model in the middle of a tracking poll will always be a bad idea.

Well it was never a 12 point race to begin with.

Honestly the polls have been so chaotic that I'm at the point of just ignoring them completely. It's all about which poll can correctly predict how the turnout on election day will look like. And I don't think anyone has a clue.

Yeah it's borderline unethical to change your methodology in the middle of conducting a tracker poll and then not elaborate.

No, they didn't change the model.

It seems like someone missunderstood (or "missunderstood" Roll Eyes )their note about ~"voters' preferences didn't change, their intentions did". But the model itself is unchanged.

One may argue, if the model is good, but when it showed C+12 (bc of low enthusiasm among Reps), it was OK...

I think this has gotten about as close as it's going to get - Clinton at 49% in the two-way, 46% in the three-way. We'll see tomorrow, though.

i predict, 2 or 3 of the trackers are going to show a trump lead, up to two points, during the next week.

Clinton's fav/unfav at 38/60 now a bit worse than Trump 39/58.  Kinds of prove that axiom in this election that whoever is in the news more will have worse favorables.  It was Trump in most of October and now it is Clinton's turn.

So with two days of the FBI stuff in no change.  Still think the poll is sh**t but not bad.

Have they been tracking this too? Because if that's the model they're working with, their results make a lot more sense.

So far the FBI email story has not hurt Clinton that much yet although her favorables are being hit which could hurt her chances of picking up undecided.  This poll is from 10/29.  It would be interesting to see 10/30 and 10/31 when all the Sunday talk shows had a chance to talk about this topic.

The major change over the last few days has been Clinton going from +49 to +31 with Latino voters in two days. Which again goes against what we know about Latino voting intention.

Don't mind the wizard behind the curtain weighting party ID to D+10 to help Hillary keep the lead.

Link? They usually don't report this.

Nope, but I'd like to know why ABC/WaPost is weighing for Party ID when all I hear from you folks is that pollsters shouldn't. So please give me an explanation on that.

Three days ago they had Clinton +4, it was the last fully pre-emails gate,
Two days ago they had Clinton +2, Democrats +8
Yesterday Clinton was +1, Democrats +9
Today Clinton stays at +1, Democrats +10!

Again, why is ABC reweighing for Party ID? All I have been told here is that that is not the way reputable pollsters do things.
