They also had a mid-October poll where they showed Obama just 1 point ahead of McCain.
True, modified it. So maybe this one is an outlier to, but I refuse to accept they are doing this on purpose.
Some pollsters completely fabricate their data and results. It's been documented by Silver but we should give IBD the benefit of the doubt. They have a slight Republican leaning bias so it's probably safe to say the race is anywhere from tied to +8 in favor of Hillary.
We can never be too cautious of pollsters accuracy because they tend to herd and throw out results that are too deviated from the average. I applaud IBD for being brave enough to give us the result. Perhaps it could be a warning for all Democrats.
