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:

Tremendous polls keep coming in. A brand new Rasmussen poll has us up 5 points nationwide.

Grandma always said: “If you don’t have anything good to say about house guests, then don’t say anything”.  It becomes difficult to write anything about Ted Cruz.

Cruz said in a written statement that he was “profoundly disappointed” in the result of the Senate negotiations, accusing his colleagues of giving in to “White House demands to hand over increased control of the Internet to authoritarian regimes like China, Russia, and Iran.” (read more)

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.
