Just took a peek... he’s increased his lead from -0.2 to 6.2 over the past several days... now that’s impressive!

Hmmm... this is what you posted about RCP when the results were not so good for Biden:

"RealClearPolitics has carefully cultivated a non-partisan image—while in the shadows its parent company pushes images of killer Clintons and a freedom-loving Kremlin.

More at the link... if you want

Here's the link to THAT post:

So, is the seriousness of RCP's parent company pushing "images of killer Clintons and a freedom-loving Kremlin" only an issue when Joe is doing poorly on RCP?

September 30 - Biden 27.8, Warren 21.5, BS 17.5
October 7 - Biden 26.5, Warren 26.0, BS 14.3
October 14 - 29.4, Warren 23.2, BS 16.6

In the last two weeks:

Biden up 1.6, Warren up 1.7, BS down 0.9 (check my math!)

Just a few days ago when Warren was ahead in the RCP average, her supporters were jumping through hoops. Now the methodology is questioned. Curious.

nominee, but I don't think Warren will either. I honestly think that if Biden falters (as some people hope he will) someone not currently in the top 3 will benefit. I like Beto, Castro & Amy. I'll definitely be giving them a second look.
