1) Wow, not only does Real Clear continue to not count the Reuters poll even tho they do for trump’s approval rating, not only do they use the likely voters for WaPo results instead of All Voters even tho WaPo themselves tweet about the all voter numbers but apparently they
2) Also arbitrarily decide to sometimes calculate their average from 8 polls over the course of 3 weeks and sometimes to use just 5 polls from the past week like they are doing now to smear Bernie. Just disgusting.
3) Just a week ago they used 8 different polls spanning 3 weeks 
4) Now suddenly they cut the polling off on the 28th while still omitting Reuters and using the wrong WaPo numbers all so they can have a screen shot with Kamala ahead of Bernie
5) it’s not a polling average when the site cherry picks which polls it counts, which form of a poll it uses, and how long it’s window of eligible polls is all based on what best pushes their desired narrative.
6) They made their polling window so small that the results are totally wrong just by them not including Reuters and a separate Yougov. As I mentioned last night, if you take all of the polls since the 27th and average them this is actually what you get.
7) And yes there have been 15 polls since the 27th and while they arbitrarily cut off the polls at the 28th instead of the 27th even tho the 27th still being post debate, there were still more than 5 they are using
8) Btw in case people think there is some actual rule that @RealClearNews has that stops them from using Reuters polls, here’s their current poll on Trump’s approval rating which includes Reuters
@RealClearNews 9) And as expected the very next day after @RealClearNews “updated” their polling average, we get this kind of garbage on cable news. It’s been over a week since the debates, but they only started using Real Clear once again after the average was “updated” streamable.com/bemqs
@RealClearNews 10) Very next hour on PoliticsNation they did the same thing only this time showing an even cleaner graphic. The past week MSNBC has acted like only the Quinnipiac poll existed, which is ironic because it was the poll they ignored when Bernie gained 5 in it a few months ago
11) When Chuck Todd was first trying to push the Bernie is plummeting narrativ. Going forward as long as they can it will now be same Q poll and the Real Clear average while ignoring ABC poll, Reuters poll, and Morning Consult poll. The latter 2 aren’t included by Real Clear btw
