I approved this post based solely on the gulliness of its title.

Translation of article:

RCP only posts unreliable polls when they favor Republicans.
538 calls them out on it.

I only like RCP because of the ability to make your own map and to save it.

538 has a lot of good information but it needs a site redesign stat.

Personally though, I find Pollster the easiest to navigate.

I like the design of 538 just because it's so full of charts and graphs and info that it's kind of like stumbling upon some really smart person's notebook, haha

I LOVE 538, I think I got about half of my APGP class hooked on that site.

I have such a nerd-on for Nate Silver.

I understand jack all about math (save what I can cobble together for Excel formulas) so I'm always impressed with people who can think in numbers.
