Rasmussen is no longer included in the Real Clear Politics rolling average.

Have they become less reliable, or are they getting the “wrong” results?

LOL. The final Real Clear Politics average in 2012 missed the election results by nearly 5 points.

The 2 most accurate polls that cycle were Reuters and PPP and neither was included in the RCP average.

RCP = Garbage. I can take a wild guess after the polls close and it will be more accurate than their crap.

Sure it’s included... in the 4 way. It’s not included inter 2 2way (Ras doesn’t do a 2way, why should anyone?)

They are in the RCP average - just the 4 way average, not the head to head since Rasmussen doesn’t poll head to head. That said, the original guy left a few years ago.

They include it in the 4-way RCP average

They are no longer helping Clinton, so removing them helps maintain the lie that Clinton is winning.

I know Ras only polls likely eligible voters, not the general population, like the other polls. Maybe that’s the reason.
