My final bitching about RCP

[TexasCPA]

They are not including the a new poll which shows Obama in the lead even though they have traditionally included the Washington Times/Zogby Poll.

Obama leads 49.7 percent to 47.3 Washington Times/Zogby Poll

1. Uh, I don't go to RCP. Why would any progressive or Dem? I go to TPM's Polltracker

4. Good idea.

I think I'll join you.

I check RCP because I can choose to consider the polls they utilize in their averages, etc.

Check out: http://www.electoral-vote.com/ They even have a Rassmussen free map, LOL.

2. From wikipedia

"RealClearPolitics is a political news and polling data aggregator based in Chicago, Illinois. The site's founders say their goal is to give readers "ideological diversity". They have described themselves as frustrated with what they perceive as anti-conservative, anti-Christian media bias, and while Patrick Stack of Time magazine has described the commentary as conservative-leaning, the site includes columns and commentary from both sides of the political spectrum."

I think that says it all.

3. The WashTimes isn't fit to wipe my ass.

I'm not going to suddenly start lending them credence on the strength of one poll I find favorable.

5. They seem to have it there now

6. This is beyond strange. Zogby sold Zogby polling to a Brazilian firm who now polls with NewsMax.

This poll was conducted not by Zogby polling but by John Zogby.

That may account for the confusion at RCP. They shouldn't use the other Zogby pollster.
