You can see that we have these moments in mid-July and mid-June when the live polls rise to nearly match the online polls. But right now, they're only about 15% of the estimate, even though they're considered the best polls. — PolitiTweet.org

The rigorous polling averages--like the one you see here, or FiveThirtyEight--do give more weight to the live interview polls. But there's only so much you can do. Despite those efforts, IVR polls would probably still have more weight in the average--the live polls are too old https://t.co/5LROtpWhcv — PolitiTweet.org

Another thing that rigorous averages do is adjust for 'house effects'--persistent bias in a poll. But these house effects don't go as far as you might think, since they're calculated with respect to the quality weighted average--which still includes a *ton* of non-live polls — PolitiTweet.org
