As long as the GOP field is fluid:

Tender: Perhaps you should sticky a thread on the polling board, giving instructions about entering polls?  Otherwise, no one is going to remember the thing about averaging Bush/Rubio/Walker.

Also:

If someone wants to enter a new (or old) poll into the database, please do it the way DAVE did and average the GOP numbers from Bush/Walker/Rubio and use the average of Hillary against these 3 Republicans.

If a poll only shows Hillary vs. one or two top-Republicans, then just average these and enter it to the database.

I think averaging the top-3 GOPers is the best right now to show how the GOP matches against Hillary ...

Thx.

Will this formula stay the same even if one or more of those candidates implode?

No, in this case we use the new TOP-3 on the RCP average:

Hi -
Is there a desire for individual polling databases in addition to the generic - i.e. Clinton-Walker, Clinton-Bush, etc.?  This is of course a lot more data entry…

Thanks,
Dave

I think we should hold off until the GOP contenders becomes clearer (December?). It'd be a waste to do all that work on a Clinton-Walker map and then Walker completely busts and drops out in November, for example.
