It is useful to have look at the current list of most recent national polls on Real Clear Politics and then look back a week or so to the earlier polls. These are the polls that Fox had to choose from.

Chart 1 is the 10 most recent polls and lists the Cruz, Carson and Huckabee polling results for each of these polls.

Chart 2 is my calculation of the averages from the polls that Fox News selected. Note that Quinnipiac is not one of the 5 most recent polls. It is 6th. Note also that my calculation shows Carson and Cruz tied at 5.8. Fox announced a average of 5.4 for Cruz. Maybe they have non-rounded off figures from the 5 pollsters. I don't know.

Chart 3 shows the result if they really did what they promised and used the 5 most recent polls. A three way tie between Cruz, Carson and Huckabee at 6.6.

Question for Fox News or any Freeper: Why did Fox News substitute Quinnipiac for the NBC-WSJ poll. Could it be that NBC-WSJ is not a reputable polling organization? Really?

Fox News cheated to give the Huskster and Carson a leg up and push Cruz down. IMHO

Hoping I have all the numbers correct. Anyone that sees an error - don't hesitate.

Oops. I found an error in my charts. Please ignore my Post #21. I'm going to ask, beg admin to delete it entirely.

ADMIN: CAN YOU PLEASE DELETE MY POST #21.

Sorry about that.
