USC Dornsife/LA Times Poll: 10/11 -- Trump down .5, Clinton up .6

I’m shocked he still has this lead after the weekend media blitz pre-debate. Not sure what the daily averages look like, but my gut tells me that Sunday was a brutal day in this poll for Trump

The Dornslife poll is done by USC...its a research project as much as it is a poll - lots of students and faculty involved.

I wonder how many of those student assistants who are working with their liberal USC faculty are conservatives, or even apoliticals, who would jeopardize their future careers by speaking out against rigged polls? With the stakes being so high every 4 years, I would doubt the liberal academicians would let someone on their research team without making sure they have a similar "Ends justifies the Means" mindset. Just saying.

Pretending to call people is just one of the many ways to skew research results. I just used that as an example. More likely, slight SPSS tweaks would be much easier to hide. :-) Shades of global warming/climate change.

I do appreciate your input, though. I do like the Dornslife methodology, but overall, I still think these polls are manipulated, and in this election cycle, they are working feverishly to prop up The Queen. Follow the funding sources; that would probably speak volumes.
