Is CNN suppressing November's poll?

I've been patiently waiting for CNN to release their CNN/ORC poll. You know, the one they've done consistently every month for about a year or longer?

I think if they withhold the poll up until the cutoff for the debate, the campaign needs to address it. We have to ask what would stop CNN from withholding a poll that may show improvement for the campaign, as retaliation for bringing attention to their reporter's collusion and smearing campaign with the State Dept?

The past two had Rand at 5% and 4%. I doubt that has changed all that much and it might be likely that it's moved up. That's pretty important for Rand to qualify in the next debate.

What gives?

Might have just been delayed due to the holiday. No one conducts polls over Thanksgiving week because the results get distorted.

Last year they conducted the November poll before thanksgiving.

I do find this highly suspicious. We have two weeks left before the cutoff.

In 2012, they did two polls in November before Thanksgiving, as well.

CNN/ORC polls generally come out mid-month.

The polling requirements will affect when people poll, they'll want to capture data from right before the debate, so I'd guess they'll do 12/6-12/10.

Everything's gotta be under suspicion. How about you email CNN and ask them?

They are probably just doing it closer to the debate.
