538 discussed their results in a recent article, so they don't consider them pnwmom Oct 2016 #2

But very likely an outlier. OTOH, it balances out the LA Times poll.

a "shit pollster." They are rated by 538, but I didn't see them in the long list -- unfortunately there is no "search" feature.'

This is what they say on their website. It's good that they conduct surveys both in English and Spanish and that they use cell phones as well as landlines.

All PRRI public opinion research is based on probability sampling to ensure that results are broadly representative of the population of interest. All PRRI studies include bilingual (English and Spanish) interviewing. Telephone studies are conducted by professional interviewers and include a high proportion of cell phone interviewing. PRRI provides public access to the raw data files of its surveys after an embargo period of one year.

I hope it holds or increases. I would love to see her win in a landslide that couldn't possibly be questioned.

And their party ID sample seems to be right on.

Remember, the Dem candidate has outperformed the polls dramatically in recent elections. RCP is at 7.5 right now and that included the LA Times Poll that is suspect, remove the LA Times Poll and it's an 8.5 point 2 way race. In a 4 way, take out Rasmussen and it's Hillary +8.0, take out Rasmussen and add this poll and it's Hillary +8.8.

Hillary is up over 8 points and has an excellent chance to win by double digits in 3 weeks.

I don't do R(epublican)CP, but it's a riot on Huffpo Pollster to remove Rasmussen from the average (they stopped using LA times a while ago) - Hillary is +6.7 4-way before, +9.4 after removing Rasmussen.

Rasmussen is single-handedly trying to influence an election - even moreso than Julian Assange!
