CNN 49 H 44 T (LV)-- But Trump does slightly better with RV

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2016/images/10/24/cnn.poll.pdf

Looked at the internals. CNN has Trump doing slightly better with registered voters compared to likely voters at 47H -43T

I'm no Nate Silver, but as far as I can remember RV always seems to be +Dem about 3%. Either this is a new trend showing D enthusiasm or this poll is backwards somehow.

I get the filters and everything, just really not used to seeing a Republican do better with RV vs LV. For example the Sept 1-4 CNN Showed Trump +2 LV but H + 3 RV. (That poll was a tough one.)

So by my reckoning I think H is at least +7 or 8 in the most recent poll because there is a sample problem with it.

CNN needs it to be that close for ratings. Probably a landline only poll. sarcasmo Oct 2016 #5

Likely voter screens can produce inconsistent results.

To me, it means that the "tRump supporters" can't get them selves motivated enough to get out and vote

18-34 age group it appears. Best samples were over 50. May not have been intentional but I'm betting it was.
