Speaking of polls, the Real Clear Politics average that so many of us watch is really off today, because it still includes an outdated (by today’s polling standards) and out-of-whack Pew Research poll that shows Obama up by 15 percent. That’s eight percentage points greater than the next-largest margins of any of the other polls. RCP currently shows an average of 5.9 percent in favor of Obama; removing the Pew poll lowers the RCP average to 4.7 percent.
