Whats going on with the polling
I am addicted to polls. I am sure I am not the only one.

I have to ask, whats going on over at RealClearPolitics.com?

For the past week, week and a half, things have been superiorly screwy. Polls show up 24 hours in advance. Then they vanish. Then polls don't show up untill the end of a day. Then they get move from one day to another, and some vanish entirely.

WTF.

1. I think you answered your own question on how seriously to take them.

2. Their dates are off. They are saying the new CBS poll is out tomorrow, but..
click on the link and it's today.

Do take the polls they link to seriously if you think the source is good. You can always click on the polling source to get the information directly.

3. Yeah.
I dunno. Through the primaries, they were listing things properly and in a consistent way, so far as I saw. And through the General, right up to the start of our Convention, as well. But since then, their listings have been screwy. I check the links, but I appreciate the averages and comparative qualities of having the polls listed together. And that has been severely compromised in the last week.

I guess I am more expressing my frustration.
