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.
BTW: Real Clear Politics (of Chicago) cheated today, in order to keep ROMNEY in the lead!
When they added Battleground today, they eliminated Rasmussen from their averages, even though it clearly was taken within the last 14 days (their standard). If they had kept Rasmussen, Cain would have led their averages again (Cain +0.2).
RCP has violated their standards before, in the other direction, keeping Romney-favored polls up to 3 weeks at times in order to keep their blessed boy in the lead.

Nice find!
Did you also notice they list Romeny at the top of the polls even when he is behind?
Look how Romney is always listed at the top even when he is not getting the highest percentage.
Along with that BS national poll of 347 and the other of 102 (LOL) that show Romney in the lead...you should start a thread on all the tricks the MSM is using to prop up Romney.
