RCP now shows a tie in their polling average for the national polls.

I am sure the right wing site must be quite unhappy about that. And this still contains the Gallup plus 5 from a few days ago and Rasmussen plus 2 of today.

So the MSM can now drop "Real Clear Politics" shows Romney ahead.

1. Mostly useless information.

Q: What do you call someone who loses the popular vote but wins the electoral?

A: Mr. President.

Also, Rasmussen is Republican shill.

2. So?

Who cares if some kind of rMoney 30 point lead in Tenn. or Miss. evens out a lot of Obama leads? That doesn't tell any story about the swing states or the President leading in most of those.

3. I am with you Jennicut

I think this is important. RCP, for all its flaws, provides this handy rolling average. If only that Gallup poll would be updated (but won't be, as they are not polling at least since yesterday and I think today). Considering that RCP is generally right leaning, this tie is good news.

5. I know Obama has an electoral college advantage in the state polling.

I just hope heads explode among Repubs when they see this.

4. TPM's Polktracker is just as handy and easy to reference

[Jennicut]

6. I agree. I use Poll Tracker and Pollster more.

Just laughing that now right leaning RCP has to put a tie up there now. And that is leaving off Reuters/Ipsos.

7. I guess RCP is going to leave the outdated Gallup number in there

It really should be removed from the sample until Gallup starts its polling again, but of course it won't be.
