This is a good poll to highlight sketchy poll outcomes, and teach yourself how to spot them.
A newly released NYT/CBS National Poll (full pdf below) shows Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by 6 points. However, the weighting is D+8 (Rep 26, Dem 34, Ind 34)

NOTE (between Q#62 and Q#63 you’ll find a “curiously unnumbered” question):
- 26% of those polled are Republican
- 34% of those polled are Democrat
- 34% of those polled are Independent
- Poll Sample D+8
