You realize that prediction was made in March? The amount of things that have happened since then are staggering. For you to trot that out is just embarrassing.

Rasmussen uses a methodology that gives them a strong GOP house effect, largely because the way they weight "likely voters" heavily selects middle-aged whites (if I recall correctly.) IBD is also known for a consistent republican bias. Given that the overwhelming consensus of every other poll in the country has Clinton ahead by about 3 lightyears, I'm not sure a couple of outliers that have traditional GOP bias are really that much to shout about.

But hey, if you're a Trumphead these days, you have to cling to any straw that floats past.
LA Times has Clinton +1 today and IBD in a tie. They now have to look for different polls.

Yes, there are all sorts of polls but my point is you'll never see CNN opening with the IBD poll but can go on and on with the discredited NBC/WSJ poll . Seeing polls flattening out, Hillary is now trotting out porn stars.
They are showing a tie today.

One side or the other will be butt hurt.
I think it will be an early night and we will find out shortly after the West Coast closes.
