Many follow the RCP average of polls and so the game has been to announce a “new poll” showing a huge lead for Biden (or other lib) in order to pull up the average favoring Biden.

RCP uses the latest 6 polls (I believe) and averages them out. Adding 24 points to Biden’s lead by including these 2 polls would add significantly to Biden’s “average” lead since the 2 new polls displace the oldest 2 polls that both showed Biden with less of a lead.

We learned Friday that Biden was going out on the road after being basement bound for the past 4-5 months. If he is so comfortably ahead then why is he suddenly going out on the road to hold rallys that draw 10 people?

The RCP average is regularly gamed by the Dems and their fake news media wing. Like you pointed out, its basic math.
They look at the average and say, “How high do we need to make our next “poll” to get the average to rise by this amount?”
The they go out and manufacture a fake poll to meet exactly the figure they are looking for (oversample Dems by say 10%, oversampe blacks etc). Any 10 year old with basic math can do it.
Then they headline their next prime time “news” with the fake poll having Biden leading by 14 points plus a certain “insurmountable “ RCP figure. Then they repeat that all day in all their TV programs.
Its suppression polling 101.
