RealClearPolitics is getting even more desperate.
Gallup released 2 polls today. One is their traditional 7-day tracking poll, which goes from last Monday through Sunday (10/1-10/7). This poll has Obama ahead +5. This is the poll that RCP normally includes in the average.
The other poll is a three-day, post-debate poll from Thursday to Saturday (10/4-10/6). This one has the race tied.
RCP includes only the 3-day poll, saying it is is the “most recent.” …..Um…..what?
