POLL: Economist/YouGov National

New nat'l poll of registered voters:

2-WAY Clinton 48 Trump 44
4-WAY Clinton 44 Trump 41 Johnson 5 Stein 2

MOE +/-3.8% —Economist/YouGov

Are they still using registered voters instead of a likely voter screen? If so these #'s are not great.

Note: My original post mistakenly identified CBS, rather than The Economist, as the news organization that commissioned the poll.

Appeals court: Ohio elections chief wrongly purged voters

Source: Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A federal appeals court says Ohio’s elections chief has been wrongfully removing eligible voters from the swing state’s registration list.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio and the public advocacy group Demos had challenged the state’s process for maintaining its voter rolls, claiming it illegally drops registered voters based on their failure to vote.

A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati ruled Friday that Ohio’s process violates the National Voter Registration Act.

If I recall from 2012 this is not a great poll, but I could be remembering wrong. But it's definitely not bad news.

POLL: Clinton +7 in Colorado (+9 in 2-way)

Rocky Mountain/PBS Poll. Don't know anything about it.

4 way: Clinton 41, Trump 34, Johnson 12, Stein 3 Clinton +7
2-way: Clinton 44, Trump 35 Clinton +9

Just got some details: Pollster is Franklin & Pierce. Pretty sure they are a good pollster.
Poll was conducted September 14-18, so a little old at this point. Quinnipiac's had more recent data (September 13-21).

Interviews done over the phone or online, doesn't say if cell phones were polled.

POLLS: New Quinnipiac Polls of VA, CO, GA, IA

Iowa and Georgia not good. The other 2 ok. Colorado a little close for comfort

Note: These interviews were taken September 13-21, so they may not reflect what seems to be a bit of a rebound as much as polls that have a shorter period. This has long been my criticism of Quinnipiac polls.

New Quinnipiac polls of LVs >

CO: HC 44, DT 42, GJ 10

GA: DT 47, HC 40, GJ 9

IA: DT 44, HC 37, GJ 10

VA: HC 45, DT 39, GJ 8

CNN: Trump companies have a history of hiring foreign workers

Glad to see this finally getting some coverage.

Bad Fox Polls: Trump leading in OH, NV, NC

I am tempted to discount these because it's Fox, but their polls are not always terrible. The polls themselves don't seem to have a strong GOP bias, just the way they report them. But they used landlines and cell phones, did bilingual in Nevada, and did it over a 3 day period (September 18-20), so I won't dismiss them out of hand.

Here are the numbers:

Nevada: Trump 43, Clinton 40, Johnson 8 (Stein not on ballot in NV)
North Carolina: Trump 45, Clinton 40, Johnson 6 (Stein not on ballot)
Ohio: Trump 42, Clinton 37, Johnson 6, Stein 2

Sorry to put a damper on a day of good polls

The NBC poll is here...

Okay, I can breath now.

Charity watchdog calls Trump foundation 'unfocused,' Clinton's 'transparent'
