I use RCP as my aggregate for polls, I've never trusted there averages 100% but now I think they erase some polls completely, even from the archive list.

As I said they manipulate there average, using from 3 to 6 polls randomly.But unless I've missed something, or I'm paranoid I think they are now erasing polls.
Yesterday there was a poll with Cain --, Paul 8.
Today there is a poll with Cain --, Paul 10.
But the first poll is gone.If both polls where there it would have pushed out the 4th poll that has Paul a 6 and would have given him a better average.
I don't need there average to think, but lots of people use it.As does Karl Rove it his latest WSJ article which gives a mis perception to those you then went on RCP.
Anyone catch this by any chance ?
