I’m saying that an opinion of who can best beat Hillary and who one is going to vote for, are two different questions.
The RCP tables, I believe, asks the question and then tabulates the results of the answers to :
“Between a match-up of Candidate X versus Hillary, who will you vote for?”
“The RCP tables, I believe, asks the question... “
I would take the title “Average of Polls” to mean just that. An average of a selected group of existing polls, flawed or not.
Regardless, your post #72 General Election: Carson vs. Clinton, with regards to NBC/WSJ poll, where are you getting that “tie” from. She’s well ahead of all GOP candidates which isn’t surprising since most respondents consider themselves “strong democrats”.
