10/3/16 Poll Research

10/3/16
New York Times
Polls are not leading news on main website.
National polling average- Clinton: 44% Trump: 41%
Clinton has a 77% chance of winning.
All the same information as last week as far as polls, seven deadly sins and graphs.
“Donald Trump Opens New Line of Attack on Hillary Clinton: Her Marriage” this article covers a can of worms Trump is opening for Clinton, although the polls aren’t really mentioned.

“Hillary Clinton’s Positive Message? That Was the Plan, at Least” briefly mentions the polls, but mostly describes her new campaign strategy.
Real Clear Politics
Polls are shown on homepage. No longer electoral map, but an overview of numbers shown in the same place. Electoral map is just lower on the homepage now, Clinton in the lead.
List of articles found on homepage, of course, going over everything from recent debate and of Clinton asking Trump to release his tax documents.
“The Hypocrisy of Hilary’s Tax Attack” The New York Post, Seth Lipsky
“Donald Trump, American Oligarch” The New Yorker, Jane Mayer
Posting stories from other news outlets, all mostly about both candidates racking mud upon each other.
ABC News
“Hillary Clinton Pulls Ahead of Donald Trump After First Debate, Poll Shows”
Lead story, Ryan Struyk, discusses polls passed on recent debate.
Polls are not shown on homepage
Polls are the same as last week, Clinton in the lead, an electoral map infographic followed by a list of related articles.
Handling the polls well, but mostly concerned with the recent debate and what the candidates are doing to each other in the meantime.
Five Thirty Eight
Leading article: “Election Update: How Big is Hilary Clinton’s Lead?”
Election forecast on homepage also.: Clinton 71.8% Trump: 28.2%

Interactive graphics and information explaining forecast. I still have a problem with the “forecast” and not an actual poll creating their data.
