RCP is a pretty good resource, mostly for their "latest polls" page. The problem with them is that the length of time they include any given poll in the average tends to be pretty arbitrary. So far in 2014 it hasn't really been a problem, but I recall several instances of them cooking their averages a bit in 2012. One time two polls had the same exact field dates, but the one that was better for the Democrats wasn't included whereas the other one was. Or a poll with a field date of say, 7/1 - 7/21 being included, but not one with a field date of 7/17-7/19 when it's pretty obvious that the latter is more relevant.
