With Battleground poll included


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 recent weekly national polls from YouGov).

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.


Weighted 4-Poll Rolling Averages of the latest 20+ Polls listed at RCP [as of Nov 12th]
plus "YouGov" 11/8, 11/1, 10/25, 10/18 and 10/11 polls,
and Poll Position 11/8, and 11/1 polls inserted chronologically



(Example methodology for this chart is on my profile page)
.

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.

OMG!! And the LSM, Fox included, were telling us how Cain was losing. In fact he's just proved what a great president and presidential candidate he would be by courageously surviving the most horrific, mendacious, scurrilous, groundless attack the LSM have ever aimed at any presidential candidate I know of in the last 50 years. Through it all he's shown tremendous courage and humor. Just try to find any other candidate in either party who could take that abuse and come out on top the way Herman has.

Nice find!

Did you also notice they list Romeny at the top of the polls even when he is behind?

Busted


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.
