The trendline method is usually more aggressive, at least how we calculate it. This yields better projections at the end of the race, but it can be too "bouncy" earlier on. So we mostly use the averaging method now, but will mix in more of the trendline in October/November. — PolitiTweet.org

As for how we calculate the average, there are basically two ways to do it. You can either take a moving average (like RCP) or fit a trendline (like HuffPo Pollster). Our method is basically a blend of the two, which is a bit more accurate than either method on its own. — PolitiTweet.org

Polls are adjusted in three ways. First, there's a likely voter adjustment. That is, polls of registered voters and all adults are translated to what we'd expect they'd say among likely voters. This helps Trump slightly, although there's likely not a huge RV vs. LV gap this year. — PolitiTweet.org
