Note: Above you see a list of all the Republican primaries for 2012 along with what most recent polling in each state shows. Now, I am no Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight.com when it comes to process. Polls are weighed based on their age. Basically, newer polls are going to affect the average much more than older polls I’m sure many will scoff at the scientific veracity of such a method but I don’t really care.
