Because I don't want to make a bunch of ad-hoc, subjective decisions about which polls to include and how to include them when we're ingesting 40 polls a day. I want to have a good set of rules in place. https://t.co/gbeX593YCJ — PolitiTweet.org

@NateSilver538 Then why do you still include them in your projections?

Usually, manipulating the media narrative is what (some) partisan pollsters do. We include partisan polls in our averages but they're handled differently and weighed less. But there's a gray zone of firms that act like partisans even though they technically aren't by our rules. — PolitiTweet.org

What I'm saying is that we're probably too conservative in what we classify as a partisan poll. Or maybe we need different categories, e.g. "soft" partisan (say, PPP or Rasmussen not done for any outside client) and "hard" partisan (a campaign internal). — PolitiTweet.org
