There is only one that matters and it will be taken on November 4th. Polls can be made to say whatever the poll taker wants them to say. Unless you drill down into the raw data and reach your own conclusions, no stock should be taken in any of them.
A classic example:
Durring the Clinton impeachment a poll was taken and ask this question, "who would you rather have as a dinner guest? Possible repsones were 'the President of the United States or Ken Starr.
Many folks it turns out asked for clarification i.e. "who is the president?" or "is Clinton the president". The only response the questioners could give was that it was a "generic question", meaning ANY president of the US. But the Clinton sincapats took to the airwaves to proudly proclaim that a mojority of folks would rather have dinner with Bill Clinton than with Ken Starr. Once this deception was discovered another pollster ask again, only this time NAMING Bill Clinton instead of generic POTUS. Ken Starr won handilly.
If you notice all polls partner with news organizations. Why? So that they can commision polls in order to lead the news.
Only one matters.
