We’ll see how valid the D +7 turnout assumption is soon enough when polls open all around the country in several hours.

Thank God no more of this.

I don't know why there are a dozen f-ing polls every single day. I guess they're easy clicks for media websites, and a lazy lead-in. Instead of any real news, they can just say "we start tonight with our latest poll..."

Today’s poll slides Trump under the grey zone.

My feeling is he peaked at the right time.

In several hours, it will all be over.

Now its in the hands of the voters.

In addition to not understanding the main poll, I don't understand this at all, either. It's the "Intention to Vote" poll. How can his supporters' intention to vote tomorrow collapse, and hers rise?

Not the trend we hoped for. It will come down to Florida, NC, and either PA, Michigan, or a lucky run of two smaller states.

Who cares about polls, they are designed to demoralize you and suppress your vote.

Trump has fought a tough fight. He has been the fighter we have been hoping for, and he has fought hard for us. Now we need to return the favor and storm the voting booths and get him in the Oval Office.

Oh well. I can’t take it anymore. Glad it’s over.

Looks like Crooked will have about a 3 point national lead in the rcp.

Just pray to God and pray some more. If she wins this country we all love is finished forever. God help us.

I can't remember a time when the Republican was ahead in any publicly available poll on Election day since Reagan in '84.

hard to belive there’s really been any slide in the last few hours

Trump rallies are FULL and OVERFLOWING... where-ever he goes

As for whats-her-name’s rallies,
if you subtract the propaganda media, there’s almost nobody there

and her VP candidate actually can’t get a single classroom of, say, 30 people... on a large college campus....

My gosh people, lay off the doom and gloom. By the sound of it you would think Trump was 10 points behind in this poll instead of 3.1% ahead! So it dropped some, this puts in right in the range of the historically most accurate poll the IDP/TIPP poll which sits at 2.4% (and ironically everybody is praising Trump’s lead in that one). Personally I’ll be thrilled Trump win’s by a 3% margin, which would around what Obama won by in 2012.

The final 2012 Rand poll (11/6/12) had Obama 49.4%/Romney 46.8%, 2.6% spread.

Actual 2012 election result: Obama 51.1%/Romney 47.2%, 3.9% spread.

At 3.2%, this is a wider poll points spread than 2012.

IBD was #1 in 2012 and Rand -- now the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times "Daybreak" poll -- was #4. Both show a Trump lead.

Can the majority of the polls be wrong?

Of course, if they are done badly! I don't see that it makes any sense to weight the worst performing polls in 2012 as much as the best ones, but the news stories weight them higher!

Gallup -- the "gold standard" for presidential election polling between 1936 and 2012 -- gave up on presidential election polling after their dismal 2012 performance. They (apparently) think it's impossible to do this accurately at a reasonable cost today. Most, if not all, of the major alphabet polls showing a Clinton lead are done much the same way as Gallup did its 1936 poll -- telephones and live, probably majority young female, interviewers -- but with a much smaller sample size.

(I have a red lizard mailbox flag. I didn't know it was political.)

Also, in their poll of October 26th 1980, Gallup had Jimmy Carter 47, Ronald Reagan 39.

In 1980, nobody had a cell phone and nobody had caller ID.

This didn’t surprise me. For some reason I thought this would be the last result.

It doesn’t matter to me, I’m voting anyways, in spite of them and their polls. And I’m in New York! For the rest of you:

DAMN THE POLLS, FULL SPEED AHEAD!!! GO TRUMP/PENCE!!!!!

Anyone know how accurate this poll's been in the past...particularly in Presidential years?
