To Mr. Obvious OP, anyone that takes 1 poll as gospel is living in delusion....they are all base don assumptions that may or may not turn out to be correct this election cycle.
If the election were held today, Trump would lose in a landslide.
He trails in every major poll, most by around 5 points, which would result in a massive landslide, since the battleground state margins almost all now favor Hillary.
And there are two more debates, so two more guaranteed live Trump trainwrecks for all to see.
This forum isn't really a place for serious political discussion, is it? I've noticed that every thread just degenerates into "my person is better than yours" within the first couple of pages, regardless of what the original topic was.
Often, the first half-dozen or so responses are reasonably serious. After that - well, at some point, it becomes a GREAT opportunity for practicing zingers. It's quite useful for that.
On polling specifically, you'll be better off participating in the 'stickies' thread devoted to polls. That one is moderated pretty strictly, and while the zingers do occur, the serious discussion dominates. Because if it doesn't, the entire thread is shut down and a new one started.

Oh no, especially with some posters. The one you are "talking" with especially. She's a good student of Trump university - say "wrong" to anything you disagree with, and you are a winner of every debate.
I have noticed a lot of posters on here saying Trump is up in the polls. They cite the LA Times/USC Tracking poll as proof. However, that is literally the only poll in which Trump is in the lead. The Real Clear Politics running average considers ten polls -- including the LA Times/USC poll -- and Clinton is currently up 3.1%. Of the ten polls they average, Clinton is leading in eight of them, one shows a tie, and Trump is leading the LA Times poll.
Isn't it a bit disingenuous to say "Trump is leading in the polls!" when literally only one out of ten polls has him in the lead?
You've been here for 8 years and you seriously don't know what FiveThirtyEight is?
