Thanks for the input. I’m somewhat familiar with Reuters but not the others. Personally I wouldn’t put much weight on Reuters due the volatility of their poll. It’s just all over the map.
One other critique: if you are averaging the State Polls to get a national average you are, in some cases, averaging very old polls. If you are averaging old national polls you are doing the same.
You should post details of your averaging methodology. The major virtue of RCP is that they toss out any polls over 2 or 3 weeks old. I think you need to do something like that as well and you may be doing so already.
Let us know. This is a really important task you have undertaken and a big job. I really want to encourage you to keep it up.
Old polls go away if there are newer ones. I am still working on an algorhythm based on age.
