Media polling is beyond ridiculous. The same bias exists within any media poll as reflected within all other content aspects provided by the broadcast or publication.
The timing of media polling is also well beyond predictable. To generate news-worthy headlines they always push polling results around key dates; in this example on the eve of the first general election presidential debate.
ABC/WaPo release a poll today (pdf here) containing all the previous elements found in their prior ideological agenda polls. The selection of party affiliation responses is silly.
The most current national survey of party affiliation shows Democrat party registration is D+4 –SEE HERE– nationally. However, for their needs, ABC/WaPo use D+10:
However, the good news is: even with that ridiculous +10 skew ABC/WaPo can only manage a 2 point Clinton lead: 46/44

REVELATION ONE: One IT Worker Joked That A 60-Day retention Policy For Clinton Would Be A “Coverup Operation.” “But one IT worker took a somewhat cavalier attitude, joking in one interview that a new 60-day retention policy was a ‘Hillary coverup operation’ — which sparked the Trump campaign’s anger.” (Tom LoBianco, “FBI Releases Notes From Clinton Email Investigation,” CNN, 9/23/16)

(Via Drudge Exclusive) If presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton slips into a coughing fit or any other medical crisis during Monday’s high-stakes debate, she will have to power through, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned!
“There are no commercial breaks,” a commission source explains. “Period.”
Debate moderator Lester Holt does not have the authority to cut away from the stage during the epic 90-minute showdown. And microphone audio for either of the candidates is not to be manipulated. (more…)
All of the current headlines pushed by the MSM are shiny thing distractions from this after hours drop of FBI reports on a Friday before the presidential debate.
The timing of the release this evening by the FBI is yet again evidence the operational leadership within the DOJ are attempting to diffuse the content to the benefit of Hillary Clinton.
Against the “stonetear” revelations the heavily redacted investigative reports released today carry an increased dynamic. Here is just one excerpt of importance. [The entire pdf is included below for crowdsourcing.]

Police released information earlier today that Keith Scott’s fingerprints and DNA were on the hand gun, seen in eye witness reports and retrieved from the shooting. This news apparently spurred the family of Keith Scott to attempt recovery of their narrative.
CHARLOTTE — The family of Keith Lamont Scott has released what it says is cell phone video, recorded by his wife, that shows the moments leading up to his fatal shooting by police Tuesday.
“Don’t shoot him. He has no weapon,” the woman recording can be heard saying. “He doesn’t have a gun. He has a TBI. He’s not going to do anything to you guys. He just took his medicine.”
She goes on to say: “Keith, don’t let them break the windows; come on out the car. Keith! Don’t do it. Keith, get out the car. Keith! Keith, don’t you do it. Don’t you do it. Keith! Keith! Keith!”. (read more)
However, beyond the drama and emotional content, the Scott family video release actually appears to confirm the earlier photographic release from an eye witness that a gun is on the ground near the feet of Keith Lamont Scott after he was shot by police:

Making it weird continues…
Who is financing this guy? And are they doing it in a deliberate effort to make Libertarians seem intensely ridiculous. Or something…
Whenever liberals are confronted on the field of ideas you can guarantee to elicit an autonomic tone of snark, condescension and uppity indignation in their ideological retort. Why? Because at its core tenet, liberalism is dependent on blame-casting.
As such, this does not come as a surprise:
Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was invited by the Clinton campaign to sit in the front row at Monday night’s debate.
“Just got a front row seat to watch @HillaryClinton overwhelm @realDonaldTrump at the “Humbling at Hofstra” on Monday,” Cuban tweeted. “It Is On!”
A Clinton aide later confirmed that Cuban was, in fact, invited by the Clinton campaign. “He has the best seat we have access to,” the aide said. (read more)
Fortunately, in this election we have a candidate in Donald Trump who is adept at cutting through their primary weapon with an approach unfamiliar to most traditionally republican voices.
Donald Trump’s opponent is weak when confronted and needs group-think reinforcement if she is going to deliver a successful outcome for her fellow travelers.

Yesterday Hillary Clinton used a video conference to address the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA).
The union conference was being held in Las Vegas and instead of speaking to the audience live, Secretary Clinton used a teleconference link to deliver her 2016 campaign message to the audience. One of the odd messages delivered to the audience was a seemingly frustrated rhetorical question Secretary Clinton asked the audience about her position in the polls:
“why am I not 50 points ahead”…
But it was not only the content of the rhetorical question that raised some eyebrows, it was also the way in which she delivered her entire message. The result is an autonomic response of discomfort for the viewing audience. She made it weird. Watch:

[…] “Battleground states carry that name for a reason: They’re going to be close, from now until Election Day,” [Clinton] campaign manager Robby Mook wrote in a memo to supporters this week. “But we are going to win them because we’ve spent the past year building a superior ground game to communicate our message and turn our people out to vote.” (link)
