Everyone remember when this was RCP's favorite pollster in 2016?

They haven't added this one yet for 2020!

Neither has 538. What's the deal?

Probably inputting in the Africanized-Honeybee-Uncertainty-Factor (AHUF). 

Do you mean the Honeybadger-Uncertainty-Factor?

54-40 today. I guess we are still seeing Biden's post-convention bounce since the sample is between 23-29 August.

Just found this.  Back in 2016, this economist constantly reweighted the 2016 LAT/USC poll based on the American Community Survey and other demographic data.  Not only did his "reweighted" version come within 0.2% of the final margin on Election Day 2018 (his final margin was Hillary +1.9, the actual was Hillary +2.1), but his estimations basically worked perfectly as a leading indicator of the RCP + other poll aggregates that was ahead of them by a week or a little less.

Traditional method

Biden    51.3 (-0.6)
Trump    42.0 (+0.4)

Margin    Biden +9.3  (-1)

This is where it was before the DNC. Afterwards it went Biden +15 and now after the RNC it returned to status quo ante.

Probabilistic
Biden 52.8 (+0.1)
Trump 40.6 (-0.5)

Traditional
Biden 54.3 (-0.5)
Trump 40.0 (+0.2)

Can someone explain in layman's terms the difference between the two methodologies?

Probablistic
Biden 50.7% (+0.6)
Trump 42.1% (-0.6)

Traditional
Biden 51.6% (+0.9)
Trump 42.2% (-1.0)

I guess now is the turn of the Democratic half of the panel.

Using the two-week sample in this post.

Probablistic:
Biden 51.4% (n/c)
Trump 41.9% (n/c)

Traditional:
Biden 52.4% (-0.1)
Trump 41.7% (-0.1)

This version has made the poll one of the most stable out there.
