RCP Poll - Yikes!

[Polk]

I recall the days when a few in here would deride the Rasmussen polls, and any other singular poll showing a decline in Obama approval. Now we have the latest RCP polling average showing Obama, for the first time, falling below 50%. No outliers here folks - just the cold hard fact that America is getting increasingly fed up with this White House...

Hope and Change indeed!

are you really this nuts? looks like 50.1%

and they're only under 50% for the rightie rasmussen and fauxnews.

Before that Gallup poll was added, it was like 49.9.

From realclear? If so, you tossed out 1 on the low side and 2 on the high side. Why didn't you toss out 2 on each side?

Because there were only 3 "outliers"...

Only if, as I said, you arbitrarily set the outlier value at a certain point. Who decides that?

I decided that... If you look at the spread column, there are 3 obvious "outliers"...

My premise was based upon the removal of those 3 obvious "outliers" - the ones with the largest and most obvious spread differences...
