Still 15 months out and the polls are changing and not in the lefts favor.
These polls also reflect how those polled "silently agree"with Trumps specific policies...HOW IN THE FUCK CAN THAT BE!! Oh the inhumanity of it ALL
From the article:
Perhaps the most interesting results concerned “silent” Trump supporters. Nearly half of those surveyed, 49% (22% strongly and 27% somewhat strongly), agreed with the following statement:Even though I tell people I do not approve of Donald Trump, I personally agree with him on certain issues.

The poll was conducted by Zogby, which has one of the lowest ratings of any polling company according to FiveThirtyEight, rankings which are based on how accurate the polling company has been in the past.
When reached by phone last week, Cliff Zukin, a political science professor and polling expert at Rutgers University, suggests that journalists should generally be wary of any Zogby interactive poll.
“The Zogby stuff, on scientific grounds, is quite questionable,” says Zukin. “Online, Internet, opt-in polling, where people volunteer to be respondents, doesn’t really have a basis in scientific validity. There are two kinds of samples in the world. There are probability samples, and there are non-probability samples.”
The Zogby interactive polls, says Zukin, clearly fall into the latter camp. “With probability samples, when everybody has a known chance of being selected, you can make pretty valid inferences about the population from which it is drawn,” says Zukin. “You can’t do that at all with self-selected surveys. That’s a problem.”
Another problem with Internet-based polling, says Zukin, is that, in general, Web and email-based surveys tend to overvalue the opinions of young people. A group that is notoriously lousy at showing up to actually vote.

The Worst Pollster in the World Strikes Again
Zogby, however, also conducts Internet-based polls. These polls are conducted among users who volunteer to participate in them, first by signing up at the Zogby website (you can do so yourself here) and then by responding to an e-mail solicitation. These Internet polls, to the extent they rely on voluntary participation, violate the most basic precept of survey research, which is that of the random sample. And as you might infer, they obtain absolutely terrible results.

So feel free to put faith in a Zogby survey. As I've said several times, it is rather dangerous to put too much emphasis on a single survey. But to put emphasis on an unreliable polling company which violates basic sampling theory is beyond stupid.
