[Future Useless Eater]

oops...

thank you, I had not noticed that. I tried to re-arrange the sidebar legend with perry below paul and flubbed the chart colors in the process.

[Future Useless Eater]

Another poll turned up from LAST week, YouGov Poll 11/26
Its results were.... 
Gingr. 	Romney 	Cain 
25	17.0	15.0

I inserted the poll chronologically and redid this chart...

.

With Rasmussen added

Much like what the government does with unemployment statistics, the following chart represents a 4-poll "rolling average" for the latest 20+ polls listed at RealClearPolitics.com (plus other recent national polls).

I also weighted the polls by their size. For example, a poll with a survey size of 1000 was weighted proportionately heavier than an 324 survey size.

plus
YouGov polls 11/26 11/19, 11/12, 11/5, 10/29, 10/22, 10/15, 10/08, &
Poll Position 11/27 11/22 11/8, and 11/1 polls inserted chronologically
I also broke the 11/9 - 11/14 Pew poll into two, (3-day) polls

(Example methodology for this chart will be on my profile page)
