They are not. They get real “selective” when Trump was lagging in polls to avoid biden ever having a lead. They are not neutral. The whole RCP brand is quite conservative.
I understand the editorial side is conservative but show your work that they are rigging the polling side? Find me some good battleground polling for Biden? It doesn’t exist.
I just googled RCP polling average rigged and it doesnt seem to find anything related to what you are talking about so I’m very skeptical that you arent just making this up because it fits your narrative.
For example here is what they had leading up to the 2020 election:
Also I have to say I’m shocked how badly Biden underperformed the polls in 2020 looking back. Insane. Although i guess Biden got the same % he was projected to. The undecided block basically just got added to Trump’s side.
People telling the pollsters they’re voting for RFK probably aren’t RFK fans, so much as NoSenileBiden-NeverTrumpers. Weird year to draw conclusions about third party voters.
But about 75% of RFK’s platform is awesome. He’s a piece of shit in like 15 different ways, and a few parts or his place from are awful, but he’s very progressive economically.
A crackhead in a $6.5mm hole who has confessed to selling the “illusion of access” to power. Now m’fer is chilling in the WH openly wheeling and dealing so ain’t an illusion anymore. Which begs the question, was it ever?
Look, I get that reading is incredibly difficult for you and always has been. So, I’ll just copy the relevant part of it here. What exactly do you think this means:
I know, I know. “Ostensibly” is kind of a big word. Don’t worry. Melk’s got you. From OED
