Overall, this latest poll, conducted last week, finds Democrats leading 57% to 40% when likely voters were asked for which partys candidates they plan to vote, a 17-point edge.
Thats a notable increase in Democratic support from the previous week, when the poll found Democrats with a 13-point advantage

(12,344 posts)1. In 2016, USC/Dornslife was an outlier poll, like it is now
It consistently show stronger and more stable support for Trump than others. It was the only one that did. Yhe difference was due to using a different methodology than all other polls.
It predicted a Trump victory in 2016 but overestimated the margin a little bit. This cycle, it has consistently shown more support for Democrats than any other poll.
Here's to hoping they are right again.

If the number is correct, we are approaching a 2006 washout of republicans. I want it to be +50 for Dems on election night.
