Romney is +0.1 on RepublicanClearPolitics as of the moment. Looks like his bump will be gone by Wednesday.

I see him at +1.0 right now. Am I look in the wrong spot?

Honestly, I hate that site, and I wish someone else would launch some other poll average site already so that people would stop using RCP. If you only used RealClearPolitics as your sole source of information, you would never have known how bad June-September was for Romney. They hardly ever covered 47%, or the flop of a convention. Basically every article written by an RCP staff journalist is Pro-Romney. They were my only source in 2008 and made it seem that the election was going to be much closer than it really was.

It's a terrible site, and very favorable to Romney in terms of the polls they end up using. So, if he's essentially tied in their aggregate, then a non-biased sample would certainly look better for the Democrats.

This is the page that should be showing Romney +0.1
