Vandekock! I remember you! - RCP provides an average of polls, which tend to be more accurate than any single poll, especially if you are just looking at the one that make you happy.

You cannot average a bunch of polls to create a poll.

It’s a goofy concept that doesn’t make logical sense.

Take surveys of different numbers of people, at different times, using different weighing, and goodness knows what other monkeying around, and then just add them together (and divide by X?) and get a number?

That is like a Xerox of a Xerox pretending to be an original.

It’s bad math, cheap logic, and shoddy reasoning.
