What is really starting to bother me is the citing of the RealClearPolitics “Poll Average” by the media (including FOXNEWS) to show how far ahead Obama is. This average includes polls that are obvious outliers and also data that is out-of-date.

Let's put it this way: if the Obama camp believed these polls, would they still be campaigning in Pennsylvania or Wisconsin?

Agreed — even Drude is citing and linking to it! Terrible!

It also has no margin of error which would be quite difficult to get...it’s meaningless except for maybe a trend but it is so close, it is meaningless...
