The Real Clear Politics method of averaging polls is suspect. Garbage polls are included in their averaging.
Some of you (many of you) live and die by the latest poll, elevating your hopes or dashing them with each new utterance. After the last general election results destroyed so many pollster’s methodology I would believe that media organs would shy away from them. But, no, they have to fill their newscasts somehow and what better way than to breathlessly announce that so and so has fallen behind or it’s too close to call when in fact the margin of error on some polls in as much as 5% either way!
Is your favorite prog candidate suffering? Just get a new CNN pole to provide a favorable adjustment to the RCP average.
Funny how all the "competitive" house districts are formerly Republican held seats.
