Before you guys hyperventilate you might want to check the internals of this poll...the weighted sample included 40% who called themselves Republicans and 32% Democrat.  That dog wont hunt!  The polls that were on the money in 2008 and 2012 had a sample with a couple of percentage more Democratic than Republican claiments which more accurately reflects on the ground reality.  In the better polls in past presidential elections the difference between the Repub and Demo pollees tended to be pretty reflective of the final outcome. If Trump has only a 1% lead in a poll where 8% more of the respondents call themselves Republicans than Democrat, he's toast!
