Electoral College poll updates from 2014-09-17 (UTC)

16:41:47 Poll Added: PPP in KS from 2014-09-11 to 2014-09-14 – Clinton 40% to Bush 46% http://t.co/DHcrmFSESD
16:44:08 Poll Added: PPP in KS from 2014-09-11 to 2014-09-14 – Clinton 40% to Christie 42% http://t.co/vSGT4a2gJW
16:44:16 Clinton vs Christie state category change: KS has moved from Solid Christie to Strong Christie http://t.co/vSGT4a2gJW
16:46:35 Poll Added: PPP in KS from 2014-09-11 to 2014-09-14 – Clinton 44% to Cruz 41% http://t.co/up43Ufyq48
16:48:41 Poll Added: PPP in KS from 2014-09-11 to 2014-09-14 – Clinton 42% to Huckabee 45% http://t.co/TYJ62qyB3f
16:51:28 Poll Added: PPP in KS from 2014-09-11 to 2014-09-14 – Clinton 41% to Paul 43% http://t.co/R0BvOQxCTP
16:51:36 Clinton vs Paul state category change: KS has moved from Solid Paul to Strong Paul http://t.co/R0BvOQxCTP
16:55:23 Poll Added: PPP in NC from 2014-09-11 to 2014-09-14 – Clinton 43% to Bush 45% http://t.co/wDLSmEzTMd
16:57:47 Poll Added: PPP in NC from 2014-09-11 to 2014-09-14 – Clinton 45% to Christie 38% http://t.co/50W5VQvplX
16:59:55 Poll Added: PPP in NC from 2014-09-11 to 2014-09-14 – Clinton 48% to Cruz 40% http://t.co/kHAVtIPJVM
17:01:56 Poll Added: PPP in NC from 2014-09-11 to 2014-09-14 – Clinton 45% to Huckabee 46% http://t.co/yBYl0avcDa

17:54:00 With today's poll updates, Clinton vs Huckabee moves into the top 5 "best polled" candidate combinations, displacing Clinton vs Ryan.
17:55:53 Current top five combos are Clinton vs Christie, Paul, Bush, Huckabee and Cruz in that order.
17:57:11 Going beyond that would get you Clinton v Ryan, Clinton v Rubio, Biden v Christie, Biden v Cruz and Biden v Rubio to round out the Top 10.
17:58:21 I base "best polled" on a weighted average of the length of time covered by the five poll average, with higher weight given to close states.

As of when this posts at 2014-09-16 06:54 UTC (11:54 PM on the 15th Pacific, 2:54 AM on the 16th Eastern) I will be exactly 43 years old. As usual, this takes into account leap days, the fact a year is a fractional number of days, etc.

So, “go me” for living another year, right?
