Would love to see Trump break 50% on this poll.

Outlier.

The poll carries a 7 day rolling average. We are approaching the 7 day mark since Hillary's health issues broke into the MSM.  In my mind that is what this poll reflects.  Whether it sticks or not remains to be seen.

Did this outfit poll any prior elections?  If not, then the trends are useful ... the bottom line not so much.

Me too. The trend is good. +3 +5 and now +6. 

2000 LV makes this poll one of the better ones.

Would love to see Trump break 50% on this poll.

I consider it predictive...it certainly predicted the rise of Trump.

Not really.  It polls the same people, every day.  That means volatility, and is just as likely to reverse itself next month.

Not just the health issue. It's also people believing the media and Hillary herself are lying about the extent of her health issues
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

You would.  Polls are snapshots, not "predictive."

  It polls the same people, every day. 

False. It polls a weighted subset of a larger group and they're not the same ones every day.  :nono:

Your non-understanding of this poll's methodology is understandable.

I won't be here after the election and vote.

If Hillary wins - I will be busy, BLOAT! (It won't be long before she won't let you buy.)

If Trump wins, I won't be here to GLOAT. (I don't want to hang around while everyone looks at every speck in his eye.)
