*sigh* Let me spell this out for you.Hillary Clinton won 54% of the self-identified independents in that poll. In other words, if we get rid of the sampling bias and just look at essentially undecided voters, Hillary still won.
Likewise, she won a greater percentage of Democrats than Trump did Republicans.
So the "over sampling" doesn't matter. 👆
Ok you win

Pretty much.
I understand, I too hope we can get back to all the intellectually stimulating topics posted here on a daily basis that had nothing to do with politics.
Surely the people who keep pointing this out just have a doozy of a topic they want to post. I can't wait to see what these people come up with.

Cool, so she's in a slight lead, 2 weeks out..still within the margin of error.
Trump was in a slight lead in the poll and you took it seriously. Now, when Hillary is the one ahead, you don't, even though it's backed by almost every other conducted poll.
Now you trust IBD?
When did I say otherwise?
I thought you said she was ahead by 12?😂
When did I say that?
Oh man its fun watching you flip around like a cod out of water.
You just are incapable of grasping basic statistics. Different polls will return different numbers; I rely on well conducted polling aggregates. It isn't very difficult to understand, at least for most people.
PS: Guess what, things are not getting better for her😂
Math > your opinion. 👆

Just as I suspected, you don't actually respond to my arguments but instead make two or three vague sentences, with an ad hominem to boot. 👆
