Also....

- Don't trust any poll that adds up to 100% between the candidates. Undecideds are real people too.
- Generally don't trust online polls (the Reuters poll is an example of an online poll)
- There's always new polling companies popping up, so don't trust them until they develop a track record
- More often than not you gain more valuable information from the poll breakdown than the general outcome. So Hillary being up 13 in a poll is the big thing, but the deeper numbers (like her massive advantages with women and minorities) are often what matter to winning an election.
