LOL no. This is an outlier like that Clinton +15 was

this is a much larger outlier than the Clinton +15 was - the Maxwell average is Clinton +9

IBD is garbage.
If an A- pollster is garbage can I start saying that Monmouth and Marist and anything associated with NBC is garbage? Pretty please?

This is clearly an outlier, like it or not.

As has been said they do this every cycle. Release a crap poll to pretend there's a horse race and then put one out closer to the election that's in line with everything else.

A minus at 538.

Love those red avatars shouting 'JUNK' whenever a poll result doesn't fit their narrative.

Still, Clinton had some great polls today to counterbalance this one.

IBD does this crap every election. A month or so before the election they release a poll that's a wild outlier to get attention (OBAMA AND MCCAIN TIED!!!) and then a few days before they release a second one that's in line with what all the other pollsters show.
Hence their high rating.

Now why would they do that? And you are cherrypicking data. In 2008:

11/1 - 11/3     Obama +8
10/22 - 10/26 Obama +3
10/18 - 10/22 Obama +1
10/14 - 10/18 Obama +5
10/7 - 10/13   Obama +3
9/2 - 9/7         Obama +5
8/4 - 8/9         Obama +5
7/7 - 7/11       Obama +3
6/2 - 6/8         Obama +3
5/12 - 5/18     Obama +11
1/2 - 1/4         McCain +12

So, since the start of the actual campaign they had Obama in the lead all the time, only the margin varied. They never had a tie.

Thats not to say they couldnt be wrong now, but they do have a pretty good record.

I almost enjoy seeing polls like this because they don't allow complacency to set in. Everyone knows Clinton is way ahead but that 10% of doubt keeps us working hard

They also had a mid-October poll where they showed Obama just 1 point ahead of McCain.

Same here, we'll see what happens. We should not dismiss polls that we disagree with.

I pay no attention to 538 ratings. They give Survey USA an A.

True, modified it. So maybe this one is an outlier to, but I refuse to accept they are doing this on purpose.

Silver says they've been accurate for such a long time that it maintains its spot.

But since 2014, they've done pretty poorly.

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.

hmm, ok... Trump is ahead nationally, but Republicans are so panicky that they are spending money in R-leaning house districts to avoid a collapse...Clinton and surrogates are heading into Arizona and pouring Super Pac money into Georgia but Trump is ahead nationally...

The fly goes missing for some time.
But then all of a sudden, there is a new hot pile of s**t, and suddenly the fly appears on jumps on the manure faster than you can say "This poll is a massive outlier."

Given that Obama was 1 point ahead at a similar time in 2008, I'm guessing that their secret sauce for weighing survey results changes over time and that the weighing mechanism used at this timeframe yields this same type of result.

Ok,assume this is not a huge outlier.
How the hell does it fit with all the state polls from the last 2 weeks?

It doesn't, so unless there's something wrong with their methodology (and from their track record, there probably isn't) then this one is likely an outlier.  Even well-designed polls are going to be outside the MoE 5% of the time, by definition.  That's 1 outlier out of every 20 polls.  How many polls have we had in the past few days?

The C+15 poll is likely a similar outlier, but on the other end of the range.

I am scratching my head more at the fact that their trend is counter-intuitive.

He has actually taken the lead since September which seems to suggest that the sexual misconducts have not hurt him at all.
