A Yougov poll, sponsored by CBS. I believe they reward for participating in polls on their phone app. I imagine that might skew the sample somewhat.
Edit: it seems my gut reaction about this method skewing the results was wrong, YouGov corrects for biases and has a good track record. Thanks to @Bloonface for opting to correct rather than insult me.
YouGov is a top-tier reputable polling company that weights its samples to avoid any such confounding factors.
Your comment prompted me to look into it a bit more and it appears my initial reaction was wrong, they do seem to use best practices and have a good track record. I stand corrected. Here's some more about YouGov's methodology if anyone else is interested.
