Investor Business Daily has had Trump leading nationally in its tracking poll the last couple of days. Same with the Rasmussen poll. And then there’s the LATimes/USC tracking poll.

Now, I have watched Rasmussen for over a decade and during election years it tends to lean right and be an outlier favoring the GOP. IBD I don’t know as much about but it isn’t the gold standard in polling. And the LATimes/USC poll has methodological differences that make it a permanent outlier.

But still, THREE FUCKING POLLS!? WTFghazi is going on??

Just got my ballot in the mail as I live in Portland, OR. I’ll begin filling it out within the hour.
