Only counting the last 6 polls in their average, 4 of which are Republican pollsters. Right below the 6 are legit pollsters that arent being counted. Its like the Republican pollsters know when to put out their polls to mess with the average.

GOP pollsters want to spin news. So they flood the market place with polls that are not legit. This is why 538 is a better site. It ways polls to try to take the GOP propaganda effect away.
If RCP wants to remain a legit site, they are going to have to find a way to deal with this.

538 is much better:

they give Biden an 84% chance of winning PA, and show the latest high quality polls with Biden performing well.
