Every Thursday I survey the latest presidential polling, and as of now, there’s not much new since the last time I did one of these on December 22. Think about it, pollsters weren’t going to poll the last week of the year, so they’d have to wait until this Monday to kick their machines back into action. Assume a 3-day polling cycle, at least, and they wouldn’t have raw data to crunch until today, for release tomorrow. But who wants to release numbers on a Friday when no one is around? So I’d bet most people are in the field NOW, looking to release numbers early next week.
But, that doesn’t prevent us from taking a look at where things stood the last several weeks, as a baseline moving forward into 2016.
