You cannot average percents. RCP average is worthless.

Almost. It's useful to monitor direction.

Help me out. The direction of what, seriously. You have a bunch of individual averages based on a wide variety of data, compiled with extreme variances..... let's say, hypothetically, some had 3% some had 10% - some had likely voter, some just adults and some had 500 people and some had 1500.... some +5 dem and some +7 dem... and some only had 5% independents: how can the average of anything, especially polls, tell you anything.... anything at all.

Hell, in the business world I would never try to average test market results.
